Default 245 suspension

Great reading of everyone's posts. Just recently joined and have been planning a few summer projects on the old ride. The family wagon is now mine with the kids driving their own, so to celebrate my upcoming 200k on the '91 I'm thinking of replacing stock bars with 25mm front / 25 mm rear sway bars. Rest of brick is stock, 14" tires on steel rims, new shocks and springs (stock spec). I would sure appreciate all insight into 25/25 or 25/23 mm bars for this application and ideas that others have liked doing to the long one.

Thanks.....Zeke

Zeke welcome to the forum, glad to have you here. You can create an album in usercp and load up pics of your volvo and they will appear randomly on your home page. In regards to the sway bar -

With the 25/25 sway bars, the handling is neutral to slightly “loose” depending on how much fuel is in the tank. I'd go with that in addition to sport springs, struts, and shocks. If you need a reference on where to source parts I can help you out.
