so what springs are any Good? . Iv never really seen how the rear arb works. As it isn't attached to the chassis or the car in the middle only to the axle at each end. So all that does is stiffen the rear axle. Unlike the front one which is bolted to the car then each suspension arm.

In other words, it does nothing to stiffen the back axle, just helps prevent the body roll. The thicker it is, the greater the resistance to twisting along its length and therefore the greater the resistance to the trailing arms moving independently and less body roll.

If you look at any race cars they will all contact the chassis and the ends connect to the suspension arms. I'm not saying its not a arb but it won't be anywhere near as good as the one on the front. What spring are you running and ahocms may I ask. |

Dude, like anything...all depends how far you want to go and what you want to achieve...
imo you will never get a decent handling 940 until you lose the standard 55 profile tyres as they are the first problem. a good compromise if you can't afford 17" wheels id to come down to a 50 profile for now... Check all the bushes as they are usually shot and replace with either stock new or urethane... IPD ARB's are a must pretty much. As for shocks n springs most people tend to go for a Bilstein damper and a 40 mm lowering spring. i am using BC BR series coilovers which i personally love. It is also a good idea to strengthen the subframe as this is a weak point in the 930, or replace it...there are a few aftermarket solutions.... |
