940 Turbo - 25 mm Front and Rear IPD sway bar

webfoot985

Wanted - a 25 mm IPD or similar sway bar kit for my 940 Turbo Manual - used or new.

I'm located on the Gold Coast and want to improve the handling more than King springs and Bilstein

shocks.

Please call 0418 886 229 or harrylynn@bigpond.com

Thanks

Harry

Is yours an import? From what I know there were no manual 940's here

Most likely has been converted like mine. Why would anyone want to import a 940 lol

The 940 - It was originally an automatic when I bought it 10 years ago, but I had an M 47 five speed in my about to die 740 turbo. Simple job to have Stevenson Automobiles at Nerang Qld 07 5596 5999 transfer the pedals and gearbox to the 940,

The USA company IPD makes a 25 mm sway bar kit which friends tell me really tightens up the handling more than springs and shocks, Freight from the USA is ridiculously expensive so I'm hoping someone in Oz will have one I can buy.

I highly recommend the ipd sway bars...have them on all my 240s. But yes, with the AUD so low and ipd’s high shipping rates, it would be pretty expensive to get them here. We really need a local source! I’ve been told Pedders do a larger one for 240s...might be worth contacting them to see if they also do 700/900 series ones.

You could try K-Mac suspension as they do sway bars for the Volvo 164, so it's likely they might be able to make some 940 ones.

Whiteline made a 24mm 740 sway bar at some point might be out of stock now though.

Ultra racing in Malaysia do a 23mm solid rear sway bar.

Might be worth giving Whiteline a call and if theres enough want for it within the 7/9 owners they could maybe reproduce a few sets

I've also heard that Falcon front Sway Bars swap in with ease? 27mm I believe.

Thanks Lachie. Hoping someone in Oz had the IPD matched front and rear set for sale but no luck so far

Whiteline no longer makes the 24 mm bars.

No luck with Pedders or K-Mac

A phone cal to K-Macl may be more effective, he can be a bit slow on email.

They make their bars to order from spring steel in-house.

IPD sways are on sale at the moment, but would still be $600 by the time you got them here.

For that money I'd be going to the wreckers with a tape measure and seeing what would fit or could be adapted to fit from the 4x4/Ute world. Or just running 2 or 3 stock swaybars.

Tried a call to K-Mac. No luck unless I want them to tool up for a custom job which = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I think im going to wait for the dollar to go back up and then do a big IPD/Kaplhenke order. Ill make a thread when that time comes and we can all save up on shipping :)
