2000 S70 Parking Brake Adjustment

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....

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.
