Suspesion Upgrades ??
 
I love my 850 turbo, great power but handling seems to be lacking.My last car was 95 VW Passat VR6, less power but it rode on rails in the corners and was so predictable when it began to slide. I'm unhappy with the way my volvo seems to wallow in the corners, it's less than confidence inspiring. I would like to stopthe way the body seems to lean all over the place in the corners. Any suggestions on better sway bars or other performance enhancing suspension parts?

Get IPD sway bars and lower it and you should feel a major difference.
Also after doing that if you find a set of the R 17's that would help as well.
Mine handles like a dream compaired to the wifes turbo.

Is IPD a brand name? I assume I'll need to change the springs to lower it, any suggestions on springs and struts?
