self level rear shox - Magenta Sunset - 30-11-2015
does anyone know of there is an equivalent size 'Nivomat' shock that would fit the rear end?
RE: self level rear shox - zx_volcane - 30-11-2015
can't see how they'd work with torsion bar setup as thought they party replaced having springs on de ovlovs
RE: self level rear shox - welshpug - 30-11-2015
same as any other damper on a self levelling estate tbh, they just pump up to assist the spring.
just happens to be a torsion bar spring rather than a coil spring.
as for if there are any, never seen any myself :/
RE: self level rear shox - zx_volcane - 30-11-2015
under the impression they take on part of the spring rating - hence fitting non nivomat shocks to a volvo results in it being fairly slammed

I recall my bruv's SD1 had them. afaik they compensate for heavier loads as welshpug says, pressurized inside.

They need more length for the same travel so you wouldn't get them to fit without extended mounts.
