Good call Nevyn. The xc can use v70 springs up front but need s60awd parts for the same effect in the rear due to the differences of the awd suspension. I agree that it's very ironic to lower an XC! Haha...but where I live and for where I drive, 11" of ground clearance is overkill until the meteors start hitting earth.
I'll try the airdam first but would like the lowering for added roll stiffness and better cornering, which should allow me to carry more speed safely through turns.
