I want to convert the suspension of my volvo 745 to coilovers.
The guys in Sweden seem to prefer the V90 struts for building coilovers.
But i can't find out why they prefer the V90 struts over 740/940 struts.
Is that because then you can fit the V90/850/V70 wheels without spacers?
Is it because you can use shorter volvo 850 shock inserts?
Does it give better steering geometry?
Better brakes?
Stiffer swaybars?
Or is it because of the better availability of 850/v90/s90/v70/s60 etc coilover kits.
And what does it take to convert a V90 strut to fit a 740/940?
I found this post on T-bricks, but that doesn't clear it all up for me:
