like the sugar
I have a 91 240 SE Wagon with 88k miles on it. I dont know why but I just really love this car. Last summer I was bored and unemployed so I took on the task of overhauling the brakes. Mind you I had never worked on a car before and I decided that fixing the system that probably has the most with keeping me alive was a good idea. It went well and I saved a good amount of money doing it myself.

That being said I now have a job and my brick needs new suspension(also getting a fat tax return). I know about Ipd and the cool parts they have on there, and I have seen a lot of good things about lowering these beasts. I am really tempted to spring for their lowered springs, and bilstein shocks and struts. I also like to sound of the anti sway bar. In any case I see people recommending to get the panhard rod and rear torque rods too if youre lowering the car. How important are these? I need to take my car to the shop soon for some regular maintenance and I would like to get this new suspension put on. I can get the springs and shocks now but the rest seems to all be back ordered. Will my car be all hosed up if I lower it and wait a bit on these parts? Does it even sound like I know what im talking about? Feel free to tell me all about lowering your old volvos.
