Suspension on 740Turbo 1989 sedan 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Steven on  Sun Aug 15 01:03 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Guys,

I recently bought 740 Turbo Sedan 1989 in Australia. Nice car, like it.
What I don't like is that the car is lowered, I think. The ride is pretty bumpy compared with my wife's 740 Wagon 1991.
Yes, with lowered suspension it looks "aggressive" and is probably attactive for younger enthusiasts ... ;-), but I prefer softer ride.
I don'y know if the previous onwer has lowered the car, or this is the way the car was manifactured. It looks lowered from the front only.
Do you know if the 740 Turbo Sedans are manifactured with harder suspensions ?
Also if I am to put longer(original I believe) springs to make it softer, is it a big job ?

Thanks a lot, Steven

PS I read in the previous posting, people want to lower the car by cutting
1-1.5 coils. So I assumed that it is manifactured with longer spring (softer ride).
