Default 940 Turbo Est upgraded shocks / lowering springs anyone?

Hi does anybody have a set of lowering springs and / or upgraded shocks that would fit my 1997 940 turbo estate ?

Used or new i'm not too bothered.

Thanks in advance.

Phil

I dont know if you are a member of the VPCUK, but we have a local meet coming up, and usually i'm the only 940 so come and join me.

Sounds good will check it out

I've got 2 940s and a 850 at the moment!

I've got a 98 940 turbo estate that i may be scrapping if you need any bits? (I'm in Billericay)

Turns out I am a member.

I may be interested in a few bits, moneys tight at the moment though.

i want a load cover, a dog guard, non Nivomat rear springs and shocks, the plastic panel that goes across the top of the rear bumper and possibly some other bits i've currently forgotten.

I might join you at one of these meets with my 940 soon so you won't be on your own

Haven't got load cover, or dog guard and rear springs / shocks are still on car. Plastic panel? Any other bits you've forgotten?

All parts would be collect only though form Billericay, Essex, CM11 unless someone wants to buy it as it is MOTed til September ish?

I have yet to remove the driver seat, wood effect dash and nsr light cluster but everything else is pretty much up for grabs.

The tyres are in very good nick too if anybody wants to swap them for theirs? couple of 'em are goodyears too.

Hi mate, I need a couple of pholus alloys as 2 of mine are buckled. Even better if they're the ones with the goodyears/firestones as my tyres are all shiny and bright

Any ideas what you'd like for them as all 4 or as 2. TBH only need 2

Also are those kick plates, or stickers in the door sills, as if they're kick plates I'd be interested in those too.
