Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the self-levelling suspension
with a traditional spring and shock set-up, say from the regular AWD V70?

Thanks

With older models you need to replace the stock springs with the
shocks. I would say that you should first shop some of the after
market supliers. The shocks can be had for a LOT less than the dealer
and it is nice to have the nice ride along with the self leveling
feature to deal with varying loads. It does affect weisght transfer
and braking efficiency during hard stops. A number of people have
reported dramatically better anti-lock performance when syuspension
components were changed/upgraded. Just one idiot's opinion. Just ask
anyone!

Very good advice. I don't know about Nivomats for the V70R (matter of
fact I didn't know it had Nivomats), but when I had a 760 I got Boge
Nivomats from IPDUSA. They were about $250 each, which is much cheaper
than the dealer price.

Still more expensive than a regular shock and spring.
