KB, I am considering the purchase of a '01 C70 convertible with the HPT. Would you happen to know how the suspension was set up on this car by Volvo?

Yesterday, I test drove a '02 convertible with the HPT and was shocked to feel the steering wheel move in my hand (cowl shake?) while driving with the top down at a relatively low speed. Also, the body seemed to flex quite a bit and the car was a handful to drive at 60 and above.

Do you know if the IPD tower strut brace would help with this instability? Also, I have read that the anti sway bars for front and rear can also make the convertible more stable and less of a challenge to drive.

KB, I would appreciate your thoughts or the thoughts of any other Brickboarders on this subject. Thanks, Fred.
