Anti Roll bars - for XC60 Inscription

xsaab · Jul 10th, 2019, 21:23

I moved from a 2014 D5 R Design with Polestar to a 2019 Inscription D4 with Polestar.

The ride on the Inscription is very wallowy especially on country roads, the D5 ride was very firm but positive.
Is it possible to stiffen the suspension on an Inscription so that one can have more confidence when driving on twisty and undulating roads.

Thanks for any comments.

Do you have the Air Suspension option with it’s various adjustable settings?

No air suspension fitted, I guess that it would be a major rebuild to put in the air suspension as it takes a quite a bit of space in the under boot space and I would loose the spare wheel.

I wonder if firmer shocks and springs are available.

I’m surprised that the XC60 feels wallowy. My XC90 with standard springs certainly doesn’t. There doesn’t appear to be many, if any other comments such as yours.

perhaps it is because I moved from an R Design model and previously I was with a SAAB 9-5 Turbo which was much lower.

I suppose you could swap the standard suspension for RD components- that’ll give you a firmer, more substantial ride - but I can’t imagine this would be a cheap upgrade.

Other than that you have the Heico springs for about €400 + labour: https://www.heicosportiv.de/en/model...uktdetail/4306

I've got a space saver with air suspension.
