Hello Everyone...
Hi Guys,
Picking up my volvo 340 1.7 this Sunday. I am really looking forward to it.
It will be a new experience for me as I have been drifting a 300BHP S13 for the last 4 years.
Bought the Volvo so I can learn to drive without having the luxuries of power, coilovers, handbrake etc.
Hope to learn a lot from you guys and will also be needing your advice for modifying the suspension on a budget.
Thanks

Hi guys,
I bought it so I can use it for S1 rather than my S13.
It has a welded diff and is lowered but still very boaty.
What can I do to stiffen it for cheap? Any tramp mods? lol
Btw heres a few vids and pics of the car I took today

well for the Rear you can use Front Shocks of a Landrover Defender £30 for a pair.
For the front change the springs, but this can leave with comedy bounce on the front. In order to sort this i have drained my struts of there shock oil and replacing it with EP80 Gearbox Oil. (apparently not possible on some non OEM Shocks) but they are not back on the car yet. so not sure how well its going to work.
I will let you know how i get on.

Cheers mate. Thats great info. Is it possible to fit springs from a heavier car on the front?WooDooUK wrote:well for the Rear you can use Front Shocks of a Landrover Defender £30 for a pair.

How is the shocks performing with the new oil?WooDooUK wrote:well for the Rear you can use Front Shocks of a Landrover Defender £30 for a pair.

Wow cool mate. Am I right in thinking those springs are for the rear? They go just above the leaf spring right?Nikdev wrote:With these i think it will be stiff enough:

My suggestion was to try them on at front;)Baba wrote:Wow cool mate. Am I right in thinking those springs are for the rear? They go just above the leaf spring right?Nikdev wrote:With these i think it will be stiff enough:

Just found out that both escort and sierra springs will fit at front. So I am going to try a set of sierra lowering springs on my 360 daily drive next week, ill let you know if it became stiff enough!
