As Thantanos says, it'll have Nivomats most likely.
You could replace them with coilovers at around £1200+++ for the set, or fit OEM for perhaps £1k? Personally, I like the Nivomats and would refit them - and spend the cash saved (vs coilovers) on an iPD antiroll bar set ![]()

Have a read of this Abdul, please don't forget the rear suspension on your AWD is different to a normal model and as far as I know your options are genuine Volvo or Coilovers, more info of those in my linked post.
