Has the 850 t5-r got self levelling suspension? (nivomats)

I would have thought so, ask Rufe, but I think Nivos were standard on all top-end 855. My 95 GLE, 96 R and 97 T5 all had them. It is easy enough to tell by looking because Nivo are much thicker than a standard damper. But as I'm sure you know, swapping one way or the other is not at all difficult, so long as the top mount and spring are changed.
It's just the top mount that needs doing I just need to know what type to buy
