Petition for Nivomat conversion kit.. Let's get organized! 700

posted by  someone claiming to be seattle_erik on  Mon Jan 26 04:28 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Fellow Bricksters,

For owners of Volvo's with Nivomat's, we know these are costly pieces to replace with no options for modification/improvement. An IPD representative told me recently that they were "considering ressurecting the conversion kit" for IRS cars equipped with Nivomats. IMHO, it would behoove those interested in such a smart kit to prepare a document showing the interest of the Nivomat equipped public. So if you've ever wanted to get a normal shocks and springs setup, please email me at: odpadmail@yahoo.com I will then prepare a petition (if there is enough interest) and send it to IPD to encourage their conversion kit resurrection. So even if you're JUST INTERESTED, please contact me.

Cheers!

      They really are not bad. I converted by ordering special springs (had them made up) and used some old nivo bottom ends and had them pressed into some bored out Bilsteins. Can't say there is any real advantage. Still have the old ones and am thinking of going back, perhaps with a slightly stiffer spring.
