The standard IPD kit is 25 mm front, 22 mm rear. The factory rear bar you need to measure, I have seen them from 20 mm to 22 mm. That doesn't address internal construction, but gives you the vernal point: they are not too far apart. Tell us if you do measure it, I am always curious what's out there for the rears.
Short answer: the car may understeer some with the IPD bar up front, but it won't be dangerous. I would try it out, see what you think.

Well I was driving my V70 3.2 2008 and decided it needed some suspension attention.
Bilstien touring front and rear IPD front end links front and rear anti-sway bushings and motor mounts .
Finished the rear shocks started the front ...
Oh and also replacing BOTH half shafts as well!
Trouble with one ball joint on the drivers side so I pulled the control arm so I could address the pesky bugger off the car.
Then ordered new sway bar bushings , when they arrived they were very small. I did some research and it seems that they changed the sway bar diameter ?!
Has anyone else had issues fitting the 22mm bushings ? Volvo has discontinued the bushing part and the replacement seems to only fit the updated sway bar.
So no more 22mm sway bars?
Any thoughts ?

This is in the wrong section. I have no idea on P3 sway bar diameters.
Hoping the IPD sway bar links are better these days than they used to be. I fitted a set to my V70 R and they went loose in under 6 months. Total garbage. Mayle were better but went back to OE.

There are the Ultra Racing ones, but if anything they are more expensive than IPD

You mean "cop springs?"scot850 wrote: 19 May 2016, 11:38Volvo also sold 'Police' rated springs, but not sure the part numbers or availability. Thought I may have seen come for sale on Junk.se web-site.
Does (or did) HEICO make sway bars with their other suspension bits? The product page looks like it's only newer chassis'. No market for older cars maybe....
