[QUOTE=Heating the coils will weaken the springs a be to soft.]
Heating the coils only weakens them while they are hot enough to sag. After cooling, they will have their original stiffness, or close enough that you won't notice the difference. |

Jason, don't forget that 760 Volvos used the Nivomat self-leveling setup in back... I don't know if they were doing that as early as 1984, but make sure, because if it has nivomats then you need to take a totally different approach...

OK does anyone know if the IPD lowering springs will work on the diesels b/c of the added weight on the front end? Has anyone tried it?

I would not recomend cutting... I once had a 745 wich someonehad done this to... the front springs would jump out of the seat and a sharp end cut the tire at the freeway doing about 75 mph....

Nivomat self leveling? Never heard of that. As far as I can tell, my car just has regular springs/shocks out back, nothing special.

On 240s you don't really need to worried about that to much. I've seen people cut more than three coils on their 240s. 700 series are a little different and may only get away with 2 coils max to be safe.

Don't worry about that, the Nivomats started to be used in the '88 760. They are a special (and expensive) shocks that always retain the height in the rear.
