Hi,

What is the advantage to 'lowering' the car? Is that really making it lower to the ground? Why would you want to do this?
I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.
That's probably because I've been driving one since 2015 and nobody has offered to pay me yet.

Supreme stabillity control with sporty driving.
When you have 225+hp under the hood you want the best possible handling. :wink:

Hi,

Oh i see, that makes sense then. Might work out better on the highways around here too. I noticed that a lot of people are going 80mph now on Rt 78. That's nuts.

My 1998 V70 T5M is lowered on H&R springs and it is fantastic. For a bit I had this car and a stock V70 GLT. The stock suspension felt like driving a loaf of bread in comparison.
