940 Turbo - 25 mm Front and Rear IPD sway bar

Larger than stock, or larger than 25 mm? I’ve read A LOT of reviews and most people seem to agree it’s the best upgrade you can make to a 940…

I think it depends on your driving

Is this a road car or track car or both?

spirited road driving… just to eliminate the massive amount of body roll inherent in the car

You probably won't get to test the car to the limit on the road, in which case you can use the thicker rear bar and it's limitations will likely not be felt but you will reduce the body roll

So, I guess that means IPD is the best bet for the sway bars? Has IPD been in touch. Just thinking if we could get a few people to order they might do a deal and shipping would be loads cheaper

Just remember to keep the total including shipping below $1000AUD...given the exchange rate and shipping costs, 2 sets of bars may put it over the limit then the order would be subject to GST and import duty and a customs fee when it lands here...a number of us have been caught out.

crap.... thanks... didn't think of that.

IMO the 25mm Ipd rear bar seems to reduce body roll nicely but is probably a bit too firm for carrying the highest possible speed through a corner on my 205/60R15 road tyres.

I think the 25mm ipd front bar is excellent although highly rate getting excellent quality end links, I have popped too many standard ones.

Which end links do you recommend?

Brand new genuine volvo is the best option Ive tried. Only 30k kms so far, not enough testing for me to recommend.

Other ones have torn apart where the rod section joins the round end.

I've broken end links in my 760 with the 24mm sway bar, the real solution is adjustable end links

So don't need a bigger diameter bar, just have proper adjustable end rods and dial in the body roll that way?

No the solution to snapping the end links is spherical joints.

"Hello Daniel,

             Thanks for the email. This Sway Bar Kit is scheduled to get back in stock on August 13th. Unfortunately we can't guarantee that the parts will be back in stock on that date because we've had so many delays"

Straight from ipd

So looks like the cheapest I can get this for you would be a 20% discount and would put the Sway Bar Kit at $311.96. Unfortunately I can't do much more of a discount than that, but when you do order these just mention the "ozvolvo" member thing and the quote I gave you above.

You're welcome gentleman.

That's the iPD kit, front and rear, in USD plus shipping?

IPD 7/9 Sedan kit, not inc shipping which is around 195$ usd. So still under $700 landed which isnt bad in the scheme of things

$312 USD plus shipping is a bargain! Well done @nugget_940 for securing that deal.

Do you find that paypals rate gives them more cash? I looked at them when i noticed they change even Australian purchases to USD before charging it to you........Very suss.
