V70 R Shocks/Springs..

posted by  someone claiming to be alltracpete on  Wed Dec 25 06:32 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a 98 R... car was wrecked and fixed, but my rear shocks lost pressure.. these are the Nivomat self leveling correct?? any repolacements>?> can you put regular shocks there, I dont care if they are self leveling.. I just want a tight sporty ride like the OLD R!!! and also for the front.. would it be wrong to say I could put a set of S70 GLT (FWD) shocks and performance springs in place of the AWD set?? The AWD cars are almost 2 inches higher (seems) thant he FWD cars.. And I dont need ground clearance.. I live in the south. I'll put a scrape plate underneath so it wont have a chance.. anyways... just some things I'm trying to figure out.. any help? previous experience??

email alltracpete@hotmail.com if you have good idea.. thanks!

You really can't replace the shocks on your vehicle with others such as the GLT, especially if your vehicle is the AWD version. I have the 98 V70 R AWD. The shocks are made to help out with the fact this is a heavier car.
