Replacing OEM springs help with the Ride?????????????? 850

Hello All

Well.... I am back once again in pursuit of eliminiting the bone jarring ride on my 1996 850 Wagon (NON TURBO). If you are a frequent visitor to this site you have probably seen my postings in the past. BUT I am still have NOT given up hope. Maybe by the time i am done i can write a book on this!!!!

Anyways, I changed the following items on my 850 Wagon hoping for a better ride but none of them made a significant difference.

1: New Bridgestone Turanza LS touring tires. I did make sure my air pressure was 30PSI

2: New Bilstein Touring class struts in the front.

3: New Boge OEM Shocks in the read.

Now am i chasing a dream that the Volvo would ride better by replacing yet another suspension component, or should i suck it up and live with the hard ride???

I am hoping some of the 850 owners out there feel my pain and have tried an alternative that works for them!!!

I have invested too much time and money in my wagon to sell it, and my wife and I love the car with the exception of the hard ride on bumps. *The entire car shakes when i go over a bump*

Will changing the OEM srpings to H&R Springs make a difference in the ride quality?????? Will it make it harder or softer????????

Any and all suggestions are apperciated.

Thanks

Ali
