I'm looking for suggestions for a suspension upgrade-stock original still in car, and looking like it needs replacement. Have already done the plus one route with wheels/tires, would just like to firm it up a bit over stock, not make it any sort of race car..I was thinking Bilstein HD shock wise, after that, who knows?, welcome to any and all suggestions

    I'm planning to put this on my S70: http://www.eurosporttuning.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=VLS-480-102&Category_Code=VL-S70-su
    I haven't heard any reviews, but it sounds good, the brand names are reputable and the guarantee is good. I find the S70 too floaty, like it's too high. Our 855 GLT feels a lot more planted in turns and it only has 15" rims on it... I'm also going to get an upper strut brace to stiffen up the front a bit.

    In our family of FWD Volvo's we all have IPD sway bars and HD Bilsteins. Believe this is a good setup, at least we like it.
