Hello!
I'am from Portugal and i'm having some dificulties in getting some rear shocks for my kappa SW.
I've looked into Lancia's dealers and they cost 840 € the pair, and for the berlina they only cos 240 € the
pair. Does anybody knows where can i find something a little less expensive. Or is it possible to put the
rear shocks of the berlina in the SW and of course loose the Nivomat system.
Sorry for not speaking deutsch, but i've tried in a portuguese forum and in this forum but in english and no
one knows!
Thank you for your atention!

Paolo,
840 € for the pair is actually cheap, here in Germany you pay approx. 530 € for ONE rear shock.
I had to change mine 18 month ago, I finally found a small german company who was able to get me both rear shocks for 700 € plus shipping. Here's the address
Manfred Schwarz
Regensburger Str.40
94036 Passau

I assume, this is a one man company, he mainly deals with parts for older Fiats, but has good contacts to Italy. It took him 3 weeks to get them, then he shipped the parts after I wired him the money.
First he offered a price of 450 per one shock, later he found a better supplier and came back with the 350
price. But that was 18 month ago!
But even, when he's able to deliver them again for that price, but with shipping costs from Germany to Portugal on top, you might still end up at 780 - 800 €.
So not worth doing it.
Actually just recently we heard that some Kappa SW had regular shocks in the rear. Was totally new for us.
If you find a dealer who has the Berlina rear shocks available, maybe you can try to convince him to install one for test purposes, to see if the Berlina part fits as well.

Re: Lancia kappa sw
Good morning Jochen!
Thank you for your very complete answer!
Here in Aveiro, Portugal the Lancia's dealer says that if i want i can put the Berlina rear shocks but he
can't offer me the two year garantee.
I bought the SW used and i think that she already has other rear shocks, not whith Nivomat.
Best regards, Paulo!

Re: Lancia kappa sw
My decision is not do this. The shocks for the berlina are not strong enough. You will used them quickly,
