I would have thought so, ask Rufe, but I think Nivos were standard on all top-end 855. My 95 GLE, 96 R and 97 T5 all had them. It is easy enough to tell by looking because Nivo are much thicker than a standard damper. But as I'm sure you know, swapping one way or the other is not at all difficult, so long as the top mount and spring are changed.
