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

If it doesnt settle its time for you and the mrs to start on the pie diet that should drop it a fair bit lol.

[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave]Looks great mate. How's the road ride?[/QUOTE]
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 :)

Think you need to be more stupid to do that

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.

I know what you mean, it does settle though (slightly), this was taken 2 days after it was done. I have less weight on board though from middle to rear of car.
