It's been a couple of years since the last group buy so I figured there would be some interest in what I'm tossing together.

I got the okay from Chris @ IPD, I got the okay from Ron @ IPD.....now it's time to judge interest.

I personally will be purchasing the V70R setup because I want that 28MM Rear.

I'm willing to bet this would apply to ANY FORUM INTERESTED. Not specifically R Forum specific but you guys and gals are my people so here is where I shall preach.

Ready, Set, Go!

got this a week ago and I'm loving the new response from the v70r sways. Very flat now, just waiting for autocross to start which is right around the corner

I know the GB is closed, but I just got mine installed by Art Works, Tacoma WA, and this is unreal. I went with the V70R kit for the bigger rear and cannot be happier. The tech installed my bars and then road tested my SR and said, "Ryan, you had better be careful with this car. This car corners flatter than any R I have driven." The shop has been around since 86, so they have seen a few Volvo's. He then went on to say that my R is the nicest R he has ever driven. Bad @$$ endorsement!

Phil R is amazing in the difference of body movement. I just need to get springs to compliment the handling.

Traffic was heavy yesterday so I did not have the chance to really bang any hairpins but it does seem so, so stable and tight. My tires are shot (at the wear bars) so I need to start shopping to truly get a sense of this mod. What I did notice on one traffic circle was that even under power, the car wanted to push out (understear) when it was new, but now I could tell she was flat as a pancake, but I was exceeding what my tires had left for traction. Trying to decide whether to keep the 4C at $450 each corner, or just go with some sweet aftermarket ones at half the price? How do I fool the 4C electronics?

You do know 4C shocks and struts are available for under $300 each (Rockauto.com $268.79 rear ea., 271.79 frt ea. plus shipping)?

04 SR's can use resistors but the 05+ I dunno. Blake did his resistors on his 04 SR.

Well, still have not been able to fully test my new VR Swaybar kit because I need rubber! However, I can report, this kit is unbelievable....completely flat cornering....its like a slot car now...

In fact, a buddy of mine is a Deputy Sheriff and he tried to hold with me into a local decreasing radius, long sweeper freeway on-ramp, in his Police Tahoe....and he got left in my dust......jus sayin....

Dude, combine your sway bar upgrade with a set of Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs for a truly unreal handling experience!! I have used Continental Extreme Sport Contact somethings before on the 'Ring, and they did great (but complained a lot, making noise going around turns), but the Dunlops just took it to the next level!! Holy poop they are great handling tires!! :D

19 July 2009, Dunlops and IPD track specs:

I don't think they make star specs anymore, but they've been replaced by the ZIIs. Wet handling isn't that great otherwise I'd be all over them!

Now who's in for another group buy?! Anyone??

Awwww man, you need to make friends with a US servicemember there!! Use their APO address; I got some schweet Corvette goodies for a buddy of mine in the Netherlands when I was there.

ninja edit: There actually is a Sonic VR owner on RAB who just came up on the net; maybe send him a PM? :)
