Thats very impressive chris , great to see someone developing the 300 . If only i had the time ... yes i have often thought about that missing l/h reaction rod ( i didnt think volvo cost cut in those days ! ) and what about a panhard rod perhaps ?

All volvos were a bit soft back then they were transformed when the 850 came out and the 900 series went .. the softness never really got worse as huge miileages grew on the cars . I have 175 65 14 pirelli P6000 i find they suit the 300 ( B14 ) well .

Did you use the heavier 360 springs James? it may interest you to know that the B14 had positive front camber and the other varients ( B200 B172K) had some negative front camber .
