2002 V70 x/c springs
Anyone out there tried the 2" lift springs available for the V70 X/C?. They replace the stock springs and add about 2" in height. I would be especially interested in clearance/ binding issues within the suspension. They still utilize the stock struts and shocks.

The handling/stability at speed wont like this, plus you may have camber issues causing uneven tire wear. My S60 got lifted from replacement shocks and ouch the change

Why lift?
There are reenforced springs that keep geometry and handling stock (a tad stiffer in the rear perhaps) but also keep the car from sinking too low when loaded, if that's the issue.
Some lifting when replacing old and worn shocks and springs is to be expected regardless though. My V70 probably gained almost an inch. Now it looks like in the original marketing materials again rather than like it was lowered. Also handles loads better since it's not too squishy
