As already said, given a while they'll settle lower than they are now.

cheers :) the ride isn't half as bad as i thought it would be.. can feel the bumps alot more but is still quite comfortable. Handling wise - less body roll but im not really pushing it hard. Compared to my last car (Corsa) its taking me a while to get use to it as its sooo different. Every time I throw it into a corner I think of that pic of yours in the field... arghhhh :)

always throw some bags of cerment in your boot (or paving slabs)... it won't help your MPG but it seems to be a bloody good way of dropping it :haha:

You could get them from most decent alloy wheel shop. However I think I may of got one of the last set for the Volvo. I was told they have discontinued them for the Volvo so you may be outa look im afraid.
