Mine has.

My P1 V70R AWD 1999 had Nivomats on the rear and they worked incredibly well! From memory, Nivomats were NOT standard but an option due to the cost...almost double that of a standard shock. Easiest way to check is to look under the car, but if you don't know what your looking at then give your Dealer a ring, tell them your Reg and they will be able to tell you everything you need to know. Anyone with VIDA can also tell you , as it will list the build spec of your car from new.
Sometime early 2018 I will have a pair of Nivo's for sale. Due to a BC coilover 'breaking', I have Nivo's on the rear of my C70, but she sits too high, so a new BC strut and the Nivo's will be spare.

[QUOTE=claymore;813900]That's assuming they haven't been changed in the 20 year life of the car.[/QUOTE] Yes that is true, anything could have changed since the car was built, so the Vida build spec may not be totally correct, so as Lee said he may need to know what he's looking for... Whilst on the Nivo subject and also for the OP's information, are the top mounts different for nivo and non-nivo setups ?? I believe there are 2 different part numbers but can't recall actually seeing any differences in any top mounts that I have here.

[QUOTE=claymore;813902]Yep, top mounts are different, so you have to replace shocks, mounts and springs.[/QUOTE] Now all done using new mounts, standard shocks and Lesjofors uprated coils. 👍
