V90 vs S90 suspension
Evening all,
New owner of V90 R-Design here. Is there a difference of damper tunes/spring stiffness between the S90 & V90 R-Designs on the standard passive suspension? I test drove a 5000ml old S90 which the dealer advised had the same suspension however, my new V90 feels so much stiffer. It's so stiff I can't actually use it for the purpose that I bought it for. Any ideas? Last edited by deanphoto; Sep 18th, 2018 at 20:38. |

I suppose it depends on what your expectations are. I collected mine Friday and have already done over 1000 miles with another 430 miles trip tomorrow and I have no issues with the suspension and ride quality and mines sitting on 20’s.

Try the tyre pressures, maybe there are on the high “eco” setting?
Lower them to the lowest recommended setting and see if there is a marked difference.....!

If that is as it should be, get them to check that the correct springs have been factory fitted. I suspect that there are many potential springs to choose from, depending on the intended model.

I have checked this (as per my original post). The car was supplied with 40psi per corner, rather than the standard 33. It made a difference, for sure, but it's still incredibly stiff.

It's exactly this. I need a supple ride as I use the boot-space to photograph from, towards other cars (I'm a car photographer). I'm not expecting Range Rover levels of refinement but both the primary and secondary damping is incredibly firm. Far firmer than an RS6..! |
