Every very minor deviations from factory standard can hugely affect ride and handling for the worse.

Volvo produced lowering kits and even an adjustible ohlins kit... all originally available via your local volvo dealer. There is some really cool stuff in the accessories catalogue (viewable online). A fair bit of it will be NLA now unfortunately.
