Lower my S70 without losing ride quality?

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

Wow you think the handling was bad originally?? Those track sway bars will greatly cause oversteer!! You will go into a corner and the backend will come around! My R comes out in hard cornering while braking and that's stock! I can imagine how much more the bigger sway bars will cause. I'd go with a quality tire first!

Swap the springs from side to side in the rear and see if the right side is still lower by an inch. Perhaps the Spring Perch is bent under the car? D_V_ENT850R also recommended tires like myself and is probably the best thing for the suspension at this time.
