As Thantanos says, it'll have Nivomats most likely.

You could replace them with coilovers at around £1200+++ for the set, or fit OEM for perhaps £1k? Personally, I like the Nivomats and would refit them - and spend the cash saved (vs coilovers) on an iPD antiroll bar set :) New shocks and those ARBs will transform your car.

Got quoted £1400 for replacing with original

Which aftermarket springs and shockers can I go for

Abdul Nov 17th, 2014 21:33

Anyone fitted bilstein b6 shockers

Thanatos Nov 17th, 2014 22:00

Davey's full coilovers cost him £1200 and I think the intrax is the same price ish

Have a read of this Abdul, please don't forget the rear suspension on your AWD is different to a normal model and as far as I know your options are genuine Volvo or Coilovers, more info of those in my linked post.
