nivomat change

[T5frankie]

When searching for spring kits they all say excluding nivomats, if i buy a suspension kit will this replace the nivomats anyway?

[Volvostorm]

Yes, it will, just but non nivomat shock tops for the dealer, and fit the kit.

I did this with mine :)

As far as I know, The rear top plates and shocks are the only thing thats different. But thats only what I've been told on here. I was going to replace mine but it comes in handy when loading the car up with scrap. Lol.

[Volvostorm]

Mine was like that, change it to Koni FSD's and Eibach springs, helped a lot, the old shocks were completely knackered.

Its got IPD anti-roll bars on it now.

Same set as myne including ipd anti- roll bars and meyle droplinks. Handles real well. Just cheap tyres on it now that let it down but theyre soon going.

I have the same drop links too, plus poly bushed bottom arms, but not the cheap tyres! lol

I hate cheap tyres its just they were on it when i got it. Theyre linlongs or sumet like that on the front. Im just having fun destroying them at the min.
Pirelli p-zero rosso's going on all round as soon as my wheels are re-furbed.
