XC70: Suspension Xc70 suspension

Did you also get a quote from Autodoc? Go direct to their Technical Team just to make sure you're being quoted for the right parts.

Worth doing (remembering that there would be import charges on top, of course) as they were, by way of a comparator, much the cheapest for 4C when I last looked.

Don't know what year your XC70 is but I suggest you do some research into aftermarket shocks like Bilstein or Koni which will be far better for handling. You can even buy Sachs brand OEM shocks for a lot less than the "Volvo" brand.

You can also replace the Nivomats with the standard suspension shocks if you find you do not need them. You WILL have to replace the rear springs if you go this way as the Nivomat springs are softer than the standard springs. Nivomats are a great product, especially for towing, but many do find them too expensive to replace and do go the "standard" suspension option.

I went the other way, from standard suspension to Nivomat rears and Bilstein struts - great combo.
