When you say "as S70 accessories" - do you mean offered by Volvo as a factory option ? I ask, because I would be very surprised if Volvo offered anything like the particular Ohlins kit EA are selling.

The Ohlins EA are offering feature remote reservoir (note the picture on their site with them affixed to the strut brace and a braided line running to each strut tower), and adjustable compression damping. Both features are generally the domain of pure racing dampers. The adjustment you get on Konis for street etc. is for rebound damping only.

Such a set up certainly = $$$ (although EA might still be on the high side)
