    C70 suspension

    Hi
    Is the suspension modification a benefit to the c70? Just been looking through the options pack and wondered if anyone has any knowledge or experience of the self levelling suspenion system offered for this model. Have found with past experience alot of my previous cars have benefited from a suspension upgrade, would appreciate any advice on self levelling or upgrade.

    Thanks in advance!!

    No experience of the self levelling option but cant really see the benefit unless you are constantly towing or carrying heavy loads around.

    I found my old C70 responded well to uprating the suspension...Volvo never did get the damping and ride quality right with this model and I found by changing just the springs to Eibach items improved the handling while slightly improving the ride quality!
    '96 855 T5 auto ...GT30 and everything uprated!

    I have Eiback Lowering spring and monroes reflex shocks and the ride is fab. She also did very well around bruntingthorpe...

    the C70T5 handles very well with Volvo's lowering option. Mainly offered with the GS and GT models its certainly a more assuring corner than a std T5
    I ask everyone to drive safe and give an extra thought before you drive to fast.
