Default 850 Wagon rear driver corner sagging

Hey all, have a '96 turbo wagon, the driver rear is sitting lower, I just recently replaced my struts/shocks with Bilstein Touring. Have stock springs.

Anyone had this issue before?

I am debating whether to replace the spring with a new one from FCP or replace them all with H&R. I want to retain the stock ride quality, maybe a bit stiffer ok, but not much, and don't want the car dropped much either.

Is there something else I should be looking at before messing with the springs?

thanks!

Springs control the height so your on the right track. The IPD springs will be lower and stiffer than the H&R.

Here is my wagon with fresh H&R's
