How to make s70 more comfortable? any ideas?

Post by dobriduh »

So as the topic says, I am wondering if there is anything that can be done to make S70 more comfortable? The car seems the be kind of harsh when driven over the road bumps.


The struts seem ok (no noise) and tires are ok as well. Wondering what else can be done to address this issue if anything

I have always thought the same of our S70--harsh over bumps and rough rodes. I found that lowering the tire pressure helps some, I use 32 front, 29 rear. This car will also need new tires soon--I'm wondering about Bridgestone 960s. They ride very well on my BMW, and very quiet and seem just a bit softer than other A/S performance tires that I have purchased.
