Base S70 Suspension Upgrade Discussion... S70

Howdy people. I'm Grant. I'm a newbie Volvo owner. I just bought a 2000 S70 Sedan, and don't think I'll ever look back - I love everything about my new ride.

Although the factory suspension makes for nice highway trips, the thought of enhancing it to handle a little more sportily has crossed my mind.

I know that there's a Sachs performance Kit available for $1000. This is from the sanme people that made the stock suspension.

I also know that some people are putting Bilstien equipment on with various makes of springs and are liking the results.

Seems to me like the Sachs kit would be custom tailored for the car and have the most well balanced characteristics though...

I'm also wondering what wheel/tire combos would work well with an upgraded suspension that's 1.5" lower. I was thinking of replacing the 15"s with a set of 17"x7" Volvo rims...

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
