just about to replace nivomats on an 850 AWD,
i know they only make one height of nivomat after talkin to Simon at frf,
so can only think that they use uprated lowered springs on the V70R AWD, please correct me if this is wrong???
will a set of elbach do the job on my 850 ??
mods so far
jetex twin rear exhaust
k/n replacement panel filter
bilstien b4 and new wishbones
poly bush engine and firewall
vented drilled discs
mbc and gauge/ transformation big time
k1 ignition leads
irridium sparks
crome grill
to fit soon / nivomats, clutch, poly torque bar mounts,
and maybe these springs if they'll work??
on the wish list at mo is nice set of wheels, ipd antiroll bar kit and droplinks,
16t, custom remap bigger injectors and downpipe, race cat, turbo timer

Yes m8, i have. Ignore the height of the rear sus in my banner as i am on uneven ground and so it it slightly up. On flat level ground after a couple of miles she levels out with barely enough room to get your hand flat under the wheel arch!
