Same specs as Boges, but may be a bit more comfy ride (and less expensive)...try the new Bilstien Touring...go to www.shox.com They seem to be cheapest around. Sold in kits including all 4 (front and rears) but if you call them they will break up the set. I just bought the rears for my S70 and having them installed tomorrow.

BTW, Nivomats are self-leveling shocks...so they are great on a wagon where you may carry a lot of weight (was standard in AWD and XC's)...pushing down the rear pushes up the front...effecting the headlights, etc. (pointing them up). If you don't require this "self-leveling" in your car, then you don't have to reinstall Nivomats at all. You can save quite a bit of money by not using Nivomats. If your car didn't come with Nivomats to begin with, I'm told that Nivomats won't fit anyway.
