Volvo 940 Turbo: Kaplhenke Coilovers | VolvoLog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- These are the Kaplhenke racing coilovers with adjustable strut mounts and koni yellow shocks. For springs I went with the 300lb 10" eibach springs in the front and 200lb 9.5" eibach springs in the rear. Later I swapped the front springs for 300lb 8" springs as there was not enough room with my wheel offset to lower the spring enough to get the ride height I desired.
All parts can be found here: www.kaplhenke.com/
It's an awesome car you got mate! It's so fun to see people actually caring and making love to these cars. Here in Sweden very many are driving the sh*t out of the Volvos. Keep up your good work! Greetings from Sweden! :D
Nice 940!
hello, how did this improve the Volvo? Better ride? Improved performance? Handling?
Do these coil overs take oem style inserts for the shock? Bought a car with these coil overs on it.
Where did you get your grill badge??
Who makes the drilled/slotted rotors? I haven't been able to find any yet and I'm due for brakes soon.
Mtec does them
Very nice.
Do u hv any camber problem?
Nice sedan, i driving an Combi one from 98 manuall :)
Anything happing with you Volvo? Seems like you have been preoccupied with modifying the ST. Hopefully you don't give up on the Volvo. If nothing else, you could probably find a used turbo easy. Same thing happened to my 745 and I picked one up at the pick a part for $35. Worked out great.
I have to drive almost 100 miles a day for work so I got the focus to be a reliable fun daily. I just don't have the time to work on the Volvo or even drive it. For now i'm just parking out some of the bits but will probably end up selling the car also. Someday I plan to get a nice 242 or 940 and build it up like I wanted to, just right now isn't the time for it.
***** very sad to hear :( i get how things go though. I just was very impressed with your build and the direction it was going. You've got a lot into the car to give up on it. 242 are nice. I have a 77 242 flathood with 4 panel tails. LOVE that car.
Tyl3rKrupa just died inside.
are u just laying under the car with jus the hoist? :D
3:47 lol. "It uses the power-tool for suspension work, or it gets the hose again!"
Love the vids! Keep It Up!!!
Hey Tyler! Did you order the "Front + Core & Rear" set? Because with normal coilovers you have to weld them into the spindle on these cars, but you just swaped the whole strut out with the spindle and everything, so you don't have to weld anything if you choose the Core option? You just swap out the old strut for the new coilovers? Hope you understand what I am trying to ask lol
As this was a daily at the time I ordered it with the cores then sent my old spindles back to Ben. He did a great job with the welding and painting though he claims he slaps some on there quick for rust prevention. Also had the lux steer package thrown on so I could run the adjustable tops
Oh okay, thanks man! I'll have to look into that and get some for my next 940, I just don't want to have to weld anything. I live in Sweden so sending mines back would probably cost more than what I get lol
Yeah that shipping would be a bit. For me he only lives a few states away so it wasn't an issue. As for welding I figured he designed these so he would probably be the best to get them welded though for how far your order would ship it might be a lot cheaper to get the parts and have someone by you weld it up.
Yea didn't think about that,but yea as you said since he designed them he has more insight on welding them etc than a normal welder (I'd guess anyway). I don't know what I'll do yet we'll see.
that looks like a 740 from 1990 at the front. try to find a 960 front and put on, then it would look extremly badass
it has 740 front on 940 I think... atleast looks like it
This is actually how almost all North American 940s came unless they had the integrated fog lights.
+Tyl3rKrupa interesting... i have 740 with america front end here in finland :P
Its funny how different the NA and EU 940s were, we never got the nice glass headlights either, just plastic junk that yellows. Thanks to our department of transportation
Its funny how they used prettt much front of 740 facelift in eu to make 940 face in murica...
can these increase height too?
Yes
You shuld Buy Some Ocean Cruise Mk18 Wheels. They are sooo Nice
Oscar Gustafsson over fucking used
hahahah true butt clean 😂😂😂
or maybe some bbs wheels could be nice 🤘
Får vara något som inte många har
XDDD aa
Det e väll inte så många som bbs på väll??
I think you forgot your dust shield!
+Tanner Legasse Those things were so rusted you could give tetanus to a whole country
+Tyl3rKrupa ah, fair enough :D
+Tyl3rKrupa actually have a wagon that looks like the one you took the engine out of - my interior is black hydras that I recently curbed
Pleace put the swedish 940 front on it looks better on 940
