If you're based in Denmark I'd look at buying stuff online from Germany. Check ebay.de or sites like pkwteile.de. Not sure if Denmark is as expensive as Sweden when it comes to spares but the germans have good prices nontheless.

Personally I'm not much of a lowering person but from what I gather you'll be fine with stock shocks but they might wear faster. Fresh shocks instead of worn ones will do more for the handling than the springs will. There are also kits with shocks and springs that you could get.

No they won't fit. The P2:s are called "V70 II" in the parts catalogues in many places which might help you find them. You can confirm this by checking if there is a "V70 III" in the list.
