So we can safely say, if you want to carry abnormal loads - nivomat suspension and standard springs and shocks all round or R springs and nivomats etc.
If you want occasional carrying and good fun handling - lowered springs and good shocks , like koni fsd and eibach setup.
The S70 R anti-roll bars are different as are the front lower arms/tca's if you can find some.Originally Posted by Babybadger

sooo, with the R suspension, are the nivomat shocks identical to the non R T5s or what? If they are identical then I cant see how R springs would behave any different to aftermarket lowering springs?
Aren't "R" nivomats lower than standard ones?
