I've been told you can run standard shocks but classic swede have some variable dampers listed, if the springs stiffen it enough i'm just gonna run standards.
Just wondering if it affects the steering geometry much?
Started a thread on the volvo forum looking for info.

good luck, you might get a reply out of them next year
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Haven't actually done anything but have collected a 940 Turbo donor car.
2.3 B230fk motor, it's low pressure but thats easily resolved with a manual boost controller.
Loads of research to do before i start but have all the major components now.
