I'd be really careful about changing the ride height of an AWD. Changing the ride height changes the driveline angles, which can increase NVH issues.

The AWD machines sit a little higher than others due to the AWD. Certainly the V70RAWD might could use a little stiffening, but IMHO it needs it more to prevent body roll thru corners than straight stuff. I think the money might be better spent on swaybars.

If you do ditch your Nivomats, please drop me a line. I'll save 'em from the trash heap.
