my car is a 1998 V70 AWD. I believe the front suspension is the same as the FWD models... any confirmation any might have on this would be appreciated.

Spring Seats/bushings
I think it's been confirmed that:
- the original design is crap
- IPD did a good redesign with the "heavy duty" model
- XC90 spring seats fit perfectly and are also considered much more durable/capable
see here

Which is better/better value/most durable/etc? buying the regular XC90 spring seats or the IPD heavy duty ones?

Strut Mounts/bearings
it looks to me like the V70/XC70 mounts/bearings are the same as the XC90 ones.
Can this be confirmed?
If they would fit, would there be any advantage to using XC90 mounts as well?
