lowering '01 v70, t5

Post by daddi-o »

I would like to lower my 2001 v70, t5 front wheel drive but the kits that I am finding are around $300 and only lower the car 1.3 inches. I would like to lower it more like 3". Is there a kit or mod available to do this?
Also, sence the front sits so much lower than the rear, is it possible to only lower the rear?

You do not want to lower it 3"
For one thing no one makes a spring that low
Next your suspension will not work at all.
Third, you will bottom out all the time, you will rub the wheel wells and more and more......
