Looking sweet mate, that's a great colour. As above tho, these things do look too high as standard, dunno why they made the arches so big too...
Mine's even higher, also on 17"s

What's it lowered on?

**Cubes** · Monday 16th April 2012, 09:31

I'm guessing yours is ex police Mr Preachy?

**M-R-P** · Monday 16th April 2012, 09:33

yep

(my sig is a bit of a giveaway lol) sits about 30-40mm higher on the back than a standard V70 too. But they do sit far too high.

Oh yeah! What a Doyle! Lol!
Police spec V70's are given extra ride height at the rear to compensate for load they have to carry.

Get some traffic cones and donuts in your boot Martin!

Strangely though, it doesn't wallow about on the back end like the standard ones do. I just throws the back out if you hit a bump while cornering hard

There's enough in the back with pushchair, toys and 2 toolbags. If any doughnuts make it to the car, they won't be going in the boot, that's for sure! lol
