Strut Bracing Affect on Ride V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be rob on  Mon Jun 9 15:25 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I put the one Volvo sells (it was cheaper then IPD)on my s70. I bought it from Borton Volvo (on the web) 2 years ago. Did it improve the handling? Objectively, I do not know if the car can take turns faster, but I can tell you the car feels much more solid. As far as ride, the car rides better, smoother, after I installed it. I definitely recommend installing one, it took 10 minutes to install and it is an improvement for which I see no down side.
