850 Nivomat conversion kit

Up for sale is a set of Nivomat shocks, mounts, and nivo spec rear springs out of my 850t wagon with 140k. While its "accordion sleeves/boots" are split, shocks were functioning very well. I have changed the suspension setup on my wagon and these are no longer needed.

I am asking $260 (includes ...

FCP Euro has the entire kit/harness for $46.99, (# 9178885KIT) new.
Thanks. Although I don't think FCP does not carry 9178885KIT any longer? Also I have read about a problem with condensation on aftermarket lights... True?

WTB: OEM Side Markers with harness for 850

Greetings,
I am looking for a good pair of OEM clear side markers (Volvo badge replacement on fenders) that would fit on my 855. I need to have them with harness/pigtail, as long as possible left on them. Please PM if you have a set for sale. Thanks!

Re: H&R Springs for 855t

"it will handle better with standard shocks" Would it be that much noticeable difference in handling quality? Also, I assume my shocks are done even if they are Nivomat, correct?

Re: H&R Springs for 855t

Here is the latest twist. I just found out that my 855t is equipped with the Nivomats. I suppose I had never thought about checking which dampers I had. Though, it all make sense now that I am looking back how well it had handled rather overloading situations in the past (i.e. Home Depot runs ...

Re: Hi-Flow Turbo Intake Tube and CCI System

I cannot to wait for your report. Especially I am interested in how well Simota CAI will work. Do you know if Simota CAI is better than ipd version? How different are they? In theory, it shares the same idea, correct?

Re: H&R Springs for 855t

I just talked to someone from the tech support at H&R. This is what I found out.

They still sell 2 versions of springs for 850/70 Volvos...wagons and sedans/coupes. Difference is, as Juan62 simply put it, "weight distribution." Wagons are heavier, thus, they had engineered to compensate it ...

Re: H&R Springs for 855t

They may have made them but almost (if not everyone) sells one rear spring (fronts are all the same)
If you liked the way mine sat (the white one) buy them from shox.com and that's what you will get.

If you go too low in the rea of a wagon it WILL bottom out when loaded up!
