I realise we are a few months on from the last post but I thought I would add my own experience.
I have a 2008 V50 D5, it’s Celtic remapped, lowered on Vogtland springs and im using Bilstein B6 dampers. Several other mods, but not relevant to this post.

The ride is for my liking a little soft if anything , speed bumps in the Aberdeen area are all fine, I have lowered the front bumper edge and splitter an additional 60mm and it still clears the bumps.
I would add that I think that my suspension is firm but comfortable, it does not crash over bumps and potholes.
I have lowered and uprated every one of my many previous cars, so would like to think that I have experience in this.

My impreza runs BC coil overs set at about 75% all round, that is a hard ride, but drives like its on rails 😬😁😁😁
