850 estate rear shocks

The rear Nivomats have gone on my 1996 850 20v n/a.

I am after either a set of rear Nivomats (possibly used) or a set of normal springs so I can convert my car to a non Nivomat self levelling car.

I have a set of saloon rear springs but they are for the lowered version. Easy way to tell if yours has the lowered volvo kit on it is look at the springs and there will be a paint mark on the lower one or two rings. Blue / Yellow = lowered.

I'm also not sure what the difference, apart from the part number, is between estate and saloon springs. Maybe the estate ones are stronger - maybe some will be able to answer that for you.

Let me know if they will be of any use.

Thanks for the reply but I have sourced the bits I want now.
