sagging v70 awd
It doesn't take much of a load for the rear end of my 2003 V70 2.5T AWD to sag, and then bottom out on bumps. IPD does not make overload coils, which I used on my 240 to good effect. I haven't been able to locate anything. Any ideas how to beef up the rear suspension? There's still firewood and kids and stuff to haul around...
Thanks,

RE: sagging v70 awd
The car does not behave like it has a self leveling suspension - it rides a little lower with a modest load, a lot lower with a heavy load. Ride height is normal with no load. IPD lists replacement shocks for about $100, far less than the usual Nivomat pricing. Is there an easy way to tell? If all AWD models are self-leveling, is this a typical failure mode? From what I've read, the Nivomat's typical failure mode is sagging even under no load. Damping is still fine.
Thanks,
