Looks stunning as always Lee, but I did prefer it lowered.

Yeah, i preferred it lowered too for looks, but to be honest, the ride is wayyy better now and the lack of ground clearance was a major issue. When you can't get into a carpark for a wedding its a little embarrassing and a real PITA, especially when there's no parking outside the venue! The missus wasn't best pleased. I'm getting used to it being 30mm higher. To be honest, it's not that bad especially compared to a standard V70 which sits another 20mm higher!!

The Eibachs made the ride very jittery. Got rid of the Side hop 100% but the ride quality was Nil.
Also, you will need the IPD camber bushs once lowered. That will cost you £180 shipped into UK.
However!!! Since i fitted my IPD Blue Strut brace brackets i have noticed the side hop issue has almost gone. I would say about an 80% improvement!!
Since the OE's have been back on, the ride quality is soooo much better. Replacing the rear bushes made a huge difference. But it cost me £460.

Cracking work there Lee. Car looks superb (not sure about the window stickers - may be better on the inside, although the tints would hide it somewhat)
Bit of a request tho... next time you get the urge to take pictures of reflective surfaces, put your shirt back on. I was eating a sandwich lol.

Mine used to hop a bit when I had the plod nivs on the back. Much better now but will still get the back out if provoked enough
