Hey brother, the quick way to see if you have it is to look at the shocks in the rear. the standard shock is about 2 inches in diameter while the self-leveling is about 4 inches.

You wont see any of that. It's all internal gases. I do believe the nivomat shock, or self leveling shock, is covered in a black plastic sleeve and a regular shock is not.

don't look for lines, there are none. Nivomats use hydraulics to level themselves, no gases. The motion of the car is used to pump them up.

Don't the SRT8 have the self leveling shocks? Hence the reason why there are very FEW lowering kits for them?

Thanks,looks like I got self-levellers then,just read up on them,talk about keeping it simple,all our euroboxes have complicated crap on them which all fail,sometme or other,how reliable(as in leaks ) are the Nivomats???
