Greetings.

Would someone be able to help my identify the Product Id / Chassis code for V8 models *without* the sport suspension setup? That is, for V8 models which aren't badged Sport or R-Design?

I run a 2007 V8 Sport SE and frankly, the state of local rural roads in the area in which I live is such that the stiffer sport setup just isn't suitable. It's really not comfortable. I'd like to effectively delete that option by replacing the shocks / springs / anti-roll bars as appropriate, with Volvo original parts. My problem is that I have only my Product Id / Chassis code available (33AEZ5448D52, should it be of use to anyone else) and I have the Sport version.

Hence my ask - would anyone with a non-sport/R-Design version mind sharing their Product ID/Chassis code? I'm asking here, since the vast majority of all First Generation XC90's sold into the UK were oil-burners. The V8, in any form, is a rare beast here. I hoping to identify the valid shock, spring and roll-bar combination for a non-sport V8.

Thanks in advance.

BTW - My request is essentially the reverse of that here: viewtopic.php?t=96671 (thanks to the OP and contributors of that thread for the interesting info)
