How easy would it be to return to standard height? Not sure the Devon lanes can handle lowered suspension....

It use to drive on some very questionable roads on my commute to my previous job! Never had any problems with it, it's only lowered by 25mm.

It cost me £80 for the garage to for the springs, £20 a corner. You could do it yourself, there's loads of videos out there!

I've got the same Eibach springs on my V70 - they are only a bit lower, remember the standard car sits very tall on original springs.
You'd not look at the car and think it's lowered, though it does reduce roll.

Still available, currently driven the car to Wales for the Easter holidays, 4 hours of driving, was perfect! Free for viewings once I'm back!
