Which one is it? S70

Howdy all!

I recently ruptured a disc(L5), long story short, it's no fun and would not recommend it to anyone:)

Anyhow, I have a '98 S70 T5 and she rides very harsh on bumpy roads. I unfortunately live in Southern NJ and the roads are very bad here and I get a bad beating so does my bad disc.

Was wondering what is causing the harsh ride. Is it:
1. The factory springs for a T5?
2. Does it have oversize stabalizer bars?
3. The Michellin MXV4s(205/55/R16), read reviews somewhere that these tires transmit alot of vibrations and road noise, has anyone heard the same?


Just try to minimize trama to my disc. The docs have told me not to run(bc of the harsh vibrations), not to sit too long, etc. I sure the harshness/jolting from driving my volvo is not helping my disc out. Just trying to see if I can soften the ride some without having to buy a caddy:)

Thanks in advance gents!
Regards,
Yo Han
