1999 C70: does it have self-leveling suspension?

How do I know if my 1999 Volvo C70 has self-leveling rear suspension? It's the HPT 2.3L model.

I think there is something on the product plate that tells you but the easiest way to tell is to look at the rear shocks. If they have a bellows at the top they are the Nivomat self leveling shocks. If there are no bellows on them then they are plain old shock absorbers.

I have never seen a c70 with Nivomats. The very concept of coupes or convertibles is little luggage and no passengers thus no heavy trunk loads.

If it has self-leveling the rear shocks are obviously oversized, bigger in diameter than the front struts.
