Although entertainingly now that the 911 is slammed, on 18's, on Ohlins coil-overs the ride is (significantly!) better than the Volvo on 17's/Koni FSD.
That's not really surprising. Porsche can design a fundamentally decent suspension, and by the 996 had really had the opportunity to refine things, whereas Volvo (at the time the 850 was made) had only just moved on from live axles and leaf springs. Their priorities were likely cost, packaging, and cost again rather than good geometry, location and articulation.

I just spoke to the sales-chap on the phone, he said that it's been to Chandlers BMW exclusively and had "whatever they said it needed". Sounds like I need to take a look at what that actually involved.
Thanks for the offer of E39 lending - I'm away for a couple of weeks now however (heading to the airport shortly).
The goal of this car is to be wallowy comfort, the 911 can do zoom-zoom.
