Can I remove my nivomat rear shocks and fit normal volvo gas shocks without any other mods?

no you need new springs & think the top mounts are different as well

Agreed, the springs are softer for nivomats and the top mounts are deffinatley different.

Aslong as they are not leaking, they shouldn't be failed, may get an advise note, but that's not a fail
