Hi, I'm new to the forum, I have a 2004 C70 convertable lpt and was wondering if there were different front struts I could install to to get a smoother ride. Any input would be appreciated! Kevin

Plenty of options out there for you to choose from. Now would be a good time to decide if you want a sportier ride, or just smoother. I would replace the front spring seats during the change since it is apart with either the XC90 ones or IPD HD's. Possible brands could be the Koni's, Monroe's, Boge's, etc..

Suspension issues

I had a few issues with a lot of stuff like lubricating steering stops, spring seats and replacing my broken rear springs. (see previous postings) Once all this was fixed she rode a whole lot better. Why fool around fitting non-standard parts before taking care of the basics!
