    I lowered mine by 40mm using a set of Lesjofors lowering springs. The part number for the 850 estate/V70 P1 is 4595811, cost me about £90 IIRC.

    I think a 40mm drop is just right, not too low so you struggle with speed bumps etc but low enough to look great and hugely reduce body roll!

    I got them from my local Andrew Page branch but I think most motor factors deal with Lesjofors.
