I disagree with you. I went back to Factory engineering and they instructed me not to install the Nivomats and the 22mm bar on my car without the spring. I ordered the entire kit which in the book showed spring, shocks and bar. When it arrived it had the shocks and bar only because the spring was out of production and NLA. The parts diagram clearly had all three so as of a few months ago the dealer parts book had not caught up. Factory Engineering instructed the dealer to take the kit back at full refund. Why do you suppose they did that if it was acceptable?

I agree that Nivomats are not a sport shock but I do think they are a great load-leveler as I have had 30 boxes of tile in the back of my '93 and before I was out of the Home Depot lot it was all trimmed up and level.

The combination of Bilstein Touring struts and Nivomats has excellent predictable control without being too harsh. By nature the solid axle ride is not as compliant as the idy rear on the V90. However, I can push the '93 with very predictable control and over roads that take the weight off the suspension, the '93 will squat and scoot while the V90 will bounce a bit too much to inspire the same confidence I have in the '93. Not that I drive like that very much anymore... ^_^
