I think googles just answered my question.... it looks to be all good (as im expecting a set any minuet)
I was told they wouldn't fit.
i think they should fit . c70's have the same springs on the rear as an estate- not the saloon i was expecting !
Well this is whats getting me here...
lots of people saying they will as they are the same, ebay lists a set for 850/v/s/c70
ive heard the rear lower shock mounts are a different width to the 70
all the s70/v70/c70 koni / sachs / bilstein shock we list seperately are the same part for these models.

But are they the same as 850?
The suppliers won't advise on fitment, they say all they know is they fit the 850....
And also that they are now going to be towards the end of next week
yep same as , sorry i missed it off my list

this is a search on the rear damper fitments. i presume the fixing points are also the same on a s70/v70 AWD , but they always had nivomat as standard

do what? i'm puzzled
Why dont do it dave?
No i also doubt the the awd is the same... although i hear the 900 series back end fits into the 70 for a rwd setup .... the definition of the word fits is what i wonder.
checked about the AWD thing - the rear shox are different as the lower fixing has a bar through it rather than an eyelet.
so the correct answer is- you cant fit a 2wd type shock on an AWD they are not interchangeable .

Thanks for clearing that up.... interesting to know the awd rear end is very similar to the fwd
Have you fitted them yet mate?
I am keen to see what you think as my C70 is deffo not one of the finest handling cars I have ever driven ha ha
I might need a set for mine I think!
I'm still waiting on them tomorrow I hope, I will upload results when they are fitted.
I've had cheap coilovers on a few cars (mainly small vws) and was an ultimate mod.... I'm guessing they are going to be firm but I like that, once the arb's are sorted should handle well
And I find the c pretty good in the twists... Yes its roles and its quite soft but that's only what Volvo intended for it, but I find its really well balanced.
I think the aerodynamics will be much better once its lower.... Feels a bit floaty at 130 upwards
