Are there differences in stock front suspensions (shocks and or springs) between V/S70, xc70, R
?

It depends on what level of detail you are talking about.

The lower (there is only a lower) control arm is the same except when there was a change from 2 bolt to 4 bolt control arms (in 99 I believe the change happened).

End links are the same, there is a difference in the anti-sway bars. There are 3 different diameters, with strangely the V70Xc having the thickest at 21.5mm diameter.

There are different springs, mostly to do with the ratings.

Spring seat and shock bearings are all the same.

Shocks also vary by model.
