I live in a state where there is a brake inspection. I need to tighten the parking brake so the handle doesn't pull all the way up to the console cover. Is there a way to adjust the brake to make it grab quicker?
thanks

Re: 2000 S70 Suspension Softness
Yeah... I was kind of afraid of that.... I have a great local mechanic so I may talk to him on the struts and see how much that effects it. Beyond that, I guess I'll have to play it by ear. Like most people, I was hoping for an easy fix to a complex problem. Can't remember when that ever happened....

Re: 2000 S70 Suspension Softness
Gotcha. Clearly questions that I don't have the answers to right now. I can get those answers tomorrow. I was hoping to find a relativly inexpensive way to stiffen the front end. My other cars are a 2011 Infinity G35 and a 2006 BMW M Roadster. I realize a big sedan will never feel like the BMW but I...

Re: 2000 S70 Suspension Softness
I have no fixed budget. $300 a $400 would be good.
As for the tires, they are continentals on the factory alloy wheels. Only 7000 miles on the tires. They are in good shape. What's a ballpark on replacing the struts?

2000 S70 Suspension Softness
I just inherited a 2000 S70 after my mother passed away. It's a great car, fully loaded and only 51000 one owner miles. Runs great, looks great. The one issue is the super soft suspension. Not sure if it has always been this soft but it is now. Is there anything I can do that won't break the bank to...
