Yes.
Wouldnt have thought so, certainly not as standardQuote:

They did unfortunately - but I'm converting it to standard shocks, with uprated springs., 1/8th the price of new (extraneous) Nivos.....Quote:

From memory, Nivomats were NOT standard but an option due to the cost...almost double that of a standard shock.
Easiest way to check is to look under the car, but if you don't know what your looking at then give your Dealer a ring, tell them your Reg and they will be able to tell you everything you need to know.
Anyone with VIDA can also tell you , as it will list the build spec of your car from new.
Sometime early 2018 I will have a pair of Nivo's for sale. Due to a BC coilover 'breaking', I have Nivo's on the rear of my C70, but she sits too high, so a new BC strut and the Nivo's will be spare.
That's assuming they haven't been changed in the 20 year life of the car.Quote:

Yep, top mounts are different, so you have to replace shocks, mounts and springs.Quote:
