Have some issue's in getting the lowering springs from classic swede in the strut.
It always goes sideways and i seem to be on the max of the treat already.
Should i secure the spring somehow to keep it from going wrong or falling out?

When i was running classiswede springs i had to clamp them in.
Get yourself some steel strip 25mm wide 3mm thick.
Drill an 8mm hole in a short piece of it to bolt to the spring cups, if you look at top and bottom cups there is a factory hole.
Make the strips bolt in here over 1coil of the spring so they just go past the edge of the spring cup. Ran mine like that for 2 years with no problems.

I put those suspension on another 340. I had them on my grey car but i took that off the road in 2008. Built proper coilovers for it but its still sat in the garage waiting for me to finish building it...

Used the press of the neighboring garage to put in the PU bushings i got from Dai (Classicswede)
I wonder how much of a difference this will make on the leafs

Ideally i would need something short strut, talking to dai about this but he's taking his time to respond. Meanwhile i sort of neglected this build for other stuff that got my intrest. Need to be picking this up soon again.

got a new fresh subframe from Ruben and JW240 (thanks!) and took the old struds of the racer and recoated them, for now i will run the 4CM lowering springs from classicswede as the new one wont fit the non short struds Koni's. I hope before the first race i will have the short struds from classicswede so i can run 6CM lowering.

Pulled the windshield to fix the little rust spot. turns out it was a little bigger.
Also destroyed one of the threats when pulling the subframe. A member of the Volvo300mania in the UK provided me with some hardware to resolve this! Thanks!
