"unwanted" because of some minor issues. My 01 T5 has 239k and counting and I am not exactly a nice driver to it. I just take care of it, It rewards me with mechanical perfection. Iphone stop watch says I can do 0-60 in 7.4 seconds with a car full of people and humid 80 degree weather. I promise to post a picture soon my car is dirty, and all I have currently is accident pictures.

Just finished lowering and adding 17in Canopus to my 02 xc70. The suspension is comprised of v70r springs that have a modified spring rate to accept the stock struts without bounciness with the added benefit of ipd's poly subframe insert bushings.. Rear is a little lower now than in these pictures due to 2 blown struts because my mom tried to haul 2,000 lbs of tile in the back of it. New struts are on order and should be installed this weekend. I did my best with the lighting and back drops I had access to. BTW I have to live on this road, it may be somewhat picturesque but in reality its utter $#!%.

I have thought about spacers but first I want to fix the rear suspension, currently it's sitting lower than this due to both rear shocks being blown but it will ride level with new shocks.

Thanks for the complements btw!

from my experience, shocks wont change the height much, if at all. it will just be less bouncy.

Well when they weren't blown out it sat perfectly level but since they are so blown out (absolutely no oil in them whatsoever) it will raise the rear end just a smidge, as it's currently sitting low by just a smidge.
