V90 rear shocks

peter burton · Oct 31st, 2016, 07:53

What options are there other than new nivomats to stop as saggy rear.I have had my V90 for just over a year but only loaded up this week and they did not pump back up.I only paid £1000 for the car and believe nivomats would be £650 plus just to buy and if the correct ones are available.I am sorry I know this is a common question but I ask your help in sourcing the cheapest replacement for the worn shocks.

I take it this is with IRS and the composite leaf spring?

It is IRS with composite spring indeed.Any help appreciated.

I got GAZ adjustable coilovers to replace my Nivomats, around £250 plus springs so much cheaper and now I can adjust ride height

Monty do you have any part numbers for the Gaz coilovers.I think my car does not have nivomats as the shocks code is h for non nivomat.I got two new sachs shocks off Amazon for £15.00 delivered.They were the last two and the price went up to £55.00 each after I bought them.Is your motor solid axled not IRS as they have more room and do not have angled ends to their shocks.Nivomats for IRS on Ebay £700 plus per pair.

Try Braydon Motors - he is reasonable on pricing - mine were about 450GBP for both.

Mine is a IRS 97 960 that originally had nivos fitted, I originally replaced these with standard dampers from GSF for £30 which significantly lowered the back (I chopped the front springs to level it) it was fine but wouldn't take any weight without sitting on the bump stops so I got the GAZ coilovers to firm it up, these would fit both nivo and non nivo and are adjustable
