Default Nivomats for 98 V70R

I’m after the potentially impossible; 2 working Nivomat shocks for a 1998 FWD V70R estate. My springs are still good, just one shock has started to fail. I’d rather replace with a matched pair, but would try a single replacement.

Please PM me with any ideas, as I’d rather stick with stock self-levelling. Viva Performance are currently charging the equivalent of £600 with shipping included; this seems much more reasonable than the £725 that Skandix want, has anyone gone either way?

I'm having mine removed from mine as we speak, both work but they have got 120k on them to my knowledge, one boot is torn. I should get the car back In a week or so. My car is also a 1998 v70r fwd model so they should be a perfect match to yours.

Don't forget that there will be 20% (?) import duty payable - on the combined purchase & shipping price

And many couriers charge an admin fee to collect the two duties.

(Purchase + delivery + Import VAT + Import Duty + courier Admin) = Landed Price
