Okay, so i got the Koni FSD + Eibach setup installed yesterday in my S70 T5m, and it rides wayy better!
but the feel of the steering wheel still seems a bit sloppy. it feels like there is still alot of slack in the steering wheel. Is there any way to improve this???

Did you get an alignment after you had the new suspension installed?
no, but it felt like this before the new suspension got installed. but then again i think the car needed an alignment pre-konis anyway.

When you get new struts, you get an alignment.

Check your ball joints, tie rod ends and bearings. They could all have play and effect your steering. With car off the ground, grab the wheel at 12 and 6 then shake it. Try this at 9 and 3 too. If there is movement inspect the component that is giving and replace.

a set of heavy-duty adjustable endlinks should help a little. My car felt a bit sharper after I installed Tom's endlinks.

just get your car aligned then go from there... it needs to be done anyways since you replaced the struts

depending on what type of driving you do (highway vs. windy roads) dialing in some negative camber with that alignment will sharpen up your steering response. -1º or so should do it
