We often get asked by customers for our recommendations and how to go about replacing original Volvo sport suspension on R models, and especially even more so now that Volvo have discontinued the original rear Nivomat self levelling sport dampers. 

Making this swap requires due consideration; cost, retaining the ride height and conversion of mountings all come into effect.

This kit contains everything you need to convert the suspension on the above models to remove the nivomat levelling system and replace with standard type (not levelling) shocks. The R models did have Volvo 'sport' type suspension fitted as standard from the factory, this kit using B4 units will retain more comfort on regular roads but still provide an element of sporty nature. 

This kit includes:

• Set of 4 Bilstein B4 Standard shock absorbers PFV902236 and PFV902228
• Set of 4 Apex Sport Springs 
• Front upper spring rubber mounts x2  PFV903169
• Front upper top mount with bearing x2  PFV904382
• Front bump stop x2  PFV910029
• Front shock absorber dust boot x2  PFV906054
• Rear shock absorber top mount x2  PFV903172

**Please note, there still are some mounting parts at the top of the original shock absorber assembly that will need to be re-used when fitting our kit such as spacers and the special cross shaped nut. This means the original spring/leg assembly still needs to be dismantled.

This kit includes Bilstein B4 'standard' type shocks so the ride will be a little more comfortable than sport suspension offers. These work perfectly well in combination with our included springs.

This kit can also be used as a full suspension refresh / sport upgrade for any petrol front wheel drive 850 or V70 model such as T5 even if not currently fitted with Nivomat units.
