Just an idea not sure but might work:

Designed for towing but should stiffen up the front end, obviously lowering springs would be better but that might provide an easy fix if you don't wish to lower the car

My car has these rings between the springs, it made a difference when i just got them. But i'm now used to it. It makes faster cornering possible. You can also mount 2 of these per coil, that will make a bigger difference.

I bought them at a Volvo meeting. A guy from the Dutch 360 challenge had these mounted on his Volvo 360 racecar. They used his car as a promotional item on the stand. He had shortened the coils and mounted 3 of these rings per coil. The car had no suspension travel at all! But that will work on the circuit, but not on the normal road.

If you go to this website, you can see how they look like. It's the picture on the right that shows them.

The front springs are becoming very popular now with all the drifters. There are a few on the forum here who will tell you how well they wrk on Vickys car. Its the only 340 I can think off that feels like it is on rails!
For only £50 a pair they are very good value.

Talking of suspension Dai... is there any news on the front spax shocks? I'm getting fed up of being sea sick...

Well... that things to put on the coils maybe is the answer... need to see how much they cost!

3 per coil?

Dai.. I'll love to get one of yours front spring, but I don0t get enough money for now to buy it... It's the springs more the shipping costs.. Maybe one day when I go to England

I got the factory that made the springs for the 360 cup cars over here to make me another set of cup spec springs. You'd be surprised how soft those springs are for a racing spring. They drive pretty decently though (on track and off)

I recently noticed that whiteline suspension actually make a stiffer front stabiliser bar for the 360...now that would be a nice improvement to stop the car from rolling without having to make your springs tough as nails.

do you have any contact info, or website to visit? I'm thinking of the roll-bars..

Dai is classicswede one here, a few posts upwards, PM him and see if he can help.

Dai, as Steve asked, what's the news on the front Spax shocks, as although mine are probably pretty new and don't feel too bad, I'm probably going to replace them when my suspension gets some changes. I expect they are only cheapo replacements too, and the whole thing does feel a tad sloppy.

Cheers,
Pete

If you need an anti-roll bar (at all!) it means you havent stiffened the front springs enough!

I am running double poundage springs and I can confirm you do still need the arb.

I would even recomend going slighlty stiffer on the front arb - also could do with a light arb on the rear.
