I love my S60, but i hate the way it crashes over bumps and pot holes. What is the best way to get a decent ride out of it?? Springs , Shocks, Springs & Shocks, Bushes????

My BM's used to soak up the bumps really well, the S60 doesnt like anything but a smooth surface.

Anyone upgraded their suspension?

I put Boge Automatic shocks on the front of mine, £220 from GSF but I got it down to £190 by begging. I also Polybushed it. Excellent ride quality now, which Oblark will (hopefully) vouch for. Plod spec rear end makes it a lot firmer than a standard P2 (heavy duty springs and shocks) It's a very nice place to be in from either the front or back seats.

17' wheels make a bit difference to the ride 18' you do feel the difference as I have both sizes 17' are winter 18'summer tyres.
