Alright, my Volov needs new shocks badly and as im reasercing which one to get im running into some issues. My volvo is a 98 v70xc and i think i have electric suspension but im not sure. I have the three buttons behind the gear selector. Does that mean i have electric suspension?
Any help would be great. I just dont want to buy the wrong shock.
Thanks, Taylor
Which shock- strut for me?

Those are transmission shift settings, you really need to learn about your car! 
READ YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL!
You have (rather expensive) Volvo NIVOMAT rear shocks, only these will fit, no aftermarket replacement
They are load leveling air shocks but certainly not electric.
In the front you can use pretty much any strut available, from OEM Volvo, to Bilsteins, Konis, Monroes, etc

Take a visit to FCPEURO.COM or IPDUSA.COM and you'll be able to lookup your car info and pick the right equipment.
