If I am correct in what I am saying the V70R has self-leveling rear suspension. Meaning that it is going to take something more modification to put different suspension back there.

Not sure what year or specific V70 he has he didn't specify.
But if he had Nivomats then to install Non nivomats or normal gas shocks then he would also have to replace the springs.

If it is a regular rear suspension it is just simple to do.

The only way to tell for sure is to look at the part # on the shock.
