Default Best suspension SET

I have a S70 T5 1997. I need to replace the suspension ( Shocks ). I was thinking in a more hard set, more racing. What is the best choice???

Thanks...

Are you in the U.K. or somewhere else in Europe because the s70's weren't made for the U.S. until 1998.

Ok so I take it you just want to replace your shocks and struts. Or do you want to replace the entire suspension?

-Bilstein TC's (OEM equvilant, just as good if not better.)
-Bilstein HD's a great upgrade if you want a performance Heavy Duty shock.
-KONI Yellows which are adjustable for soft or stiff settings. Great as well.

Your welcome.

However you didn't answer my question. Is all you want to do is shocks/struts? Or do you want to do more suspension work?

If you want to change the entire suspension? I suggest this...

1. Lowering Springs or coilovers
2. IPD sway bars
3. Upgraded shocks/struts
4. HD sway bar endlinks
5. Strut brace
