S40 T4 1999 - where to get performance struts and springs

Post by MyS40T4 »

Hello,

I'm looking at buying what looks like a tidy '99 S40 T4 manual (220k kms) - I have fond memories of a pristine '97 T4 I had until a muppet drove into the side of me and wrote it off...

Anyway, I had fitted a 19mm rear ARB and a set of KW coilovers to the first car so it handled pretty well.

I've gone looking for konis for a change (would fit with lowered springs) and can't find them... They seem to have disappeared off the market.

Found the ARB - at a price.

Don't mind if I have to upgrade the strut tops and ARB links for post 2000 struts to fit.

Any suggestions? Is this indicative of the grief I might have getting bits? Want to sort out the suspension first but then maybe tweak the exhaust...

Other bits might be a flywheel and clutch kit - preferably a non-dual mass flywheel... The original car I bought came with a AU$4000 invoice for a new flywheel and clutch kit so I don't want it to bite me.


Cheers,

Chris
