Default Lowering sprins on AWD

So I have been looking arround and Havent seen any lowering springs for My AWD 98 V70R. I know the rear suspension is self leveling or active, But has anyone gone to just Bilsteins and lowering springs instead of the factory rear shocks? Is the "active" rears worth the trouble?

welcome to my life.. for the front, its not a problem you can get any kit for FWD and it'll work. For me, i swapped out the nivomats for... nivomats, but another kind which are smaller more like a regular shock, that alone gave me a big drop in the back. The only problem is that you will have to custom order rear springs... There is no pre made shock conversion for our cars..
