    So whats the deal with lowering the R models....The main thing i'm not clued up on is the suspension....Does the p1 have self leveling rear?

    I'm after fast road handling so think rear arb, front strut brace and some lowering springs may be suffiecient to maintain ride comfort and good handling.....

    What kit can I get for the R as I have looked on partsforvolvos uk and can't see a kit that will fit the p1 R....

    Some have self levelling. The suspension on the rear looks quite different if it has.
    If you can't tell by looking under the car, then put some weight in the back and go for a short drive, when you get back if the rear is still at the same hight then you'll know.

    I'v been told by many people now that a good all round suspension is the koni sport adjustables (yellows). They are what i would get for my s70r.

    I've got the Koni sport adjustables on mine along with front and rear IPD antiroll bars and front upper strut brace and I still find the ride comfortable but also now nicely composed as well.
