Can't believe in thinking this but

I think the Boge / Eibach setup still feels like a manufacturer acceptable level of comfort.
If not quite as soft as the original springs, it would at least be representative of a special version,
or it is like comparing a Mk4 1.8T GTI with a SEAT Leon Cupra, the Leon is firmer but still comfortable.

My 16v didn't handle too badly. Was quite surprised when I saw that it was standard.

get a Volvo if you want comfort. bring on the bumps I say

I too have had a few sets of suspension

Standard set up
Unknown springs and shocks x 2 -40 and -60
Koni springs and top adjustable shocks -40
Avo adjustable coil overs (fronts only) second hand

ALL CRAP haha   ,Avo were mint until one sheered off!

Mate most Volvo's will rip the arse off a Mk3 in speed and handling

If you like the way it drives then just carry on driving it...if it aint broke don't fix it.

I don't know what dampers Ive got, I've only replaced one in two years of heavy ownership....cheapy thing...goes round round abouts and over speed bumps well enough for me...altho tyres do play a big part in handling I have found

keep it standard. drop it by 30mm if you really want blow your budget on tyres then put the peddle to the metal

+1, slam it minty!!! Standard 4x4 ride height? are you going to have a sticker on your car next saying "some things should be left alone" like the old tv advert?

Your car is looking great, now finish the job and lower it.
