Hi,

Induction may work, but make sure you have a cold air feed as they will not give the performance you'd expect.
Hot air from the engine compartment being sucked in will drop engine performance.
You may be just as well off with a decent panel filter like Pipercross ones and leaving the current set-up as is..

Lowering.... Brings you closer to the humps!!
Won't necessarily improve the ride quality, but that will depend on what shocks and springs you use.

Paul,

Good point. That said, Funny how K&N can make claims of 14 bhp by using their cone filters.
"69-9000TP Typhoon Air Filter System for the Volvo S40 and V50 models! Over 14 wheel horsepower gain compared to the standard airbox and filter element."

Link is Here, for claims and figures.

Or perhaps their testing is not reflective of the real world and make over enthusiastic claims. I am sure the dyno testing could be manipulated to give a few extra 'ghost' horses
