Hello...
I will be purchasing a 98 V70R AWD this next week and I'm starting to look into the suspension options to uprate/lower the car.
Ill be putting my 18" tritons on her w/ 225/40's...
Emailed Kalmar about their package...talked to ipd/TME about their springs...
it looks like Ohlins have an option...and still ive seen others remove the nivo's and replace with shocks/struts/springs...
Can you please share...what you have done or plan to do to your V70R AWD??
Thanks,
Brett

Welcome Brett
There were rumours of a KW varient 3 kit being made as a limited run for these cars. That would be springs and shocks.
Ask on the US forums- they might know more.
The Ohlin set up is very expensive and is only for the shocks, you'd need to source some springs.
