Re: Harsh shocks S70 1998

You seem to have stumbled into the old debate, which is more important ride or handling? In your case it seems ride is more important than handling. That being the case I would say yes, buy yourself a set of OE shocks. The ride is still a bit harsh but it will be smoother than the Bilsteins. For some reason bilstein would have you think that they have found the magic formula to great handling and great ride. The truth is that the ride WILL be harsher with a harder shock, period.
