I have a '98 V70 T5M with the FACTORY sport suspension, IPD bars, Volvo strut tower brace and Dunlop SP5000s. Lately I've been running ultra-high tire pressures. I've been looking for the "ultimate solution" for the last 97,000 miles.

I'm still not ecstatic about the handling.

Although it does handle much better than wife's Honda Odyssey.

The tires are relatively skinny and you really can't do much about that because nothing bigger will fit without rubbing. That it's a wagon helps things not at all; it handles like an S70 sedan with a 200# guy sitting on the trunk. If you don't have the self-leveling rear suspension the wagon's springs must be relatively stiff to prevent bottoming under load, I think that's part of the problem.

For a station wagon it's a lot of fun but it's no Porsche.
