My 94 850 Turbo Sedan looks like it sits low in the rear... 850

I got my 94 850 Turbo Sedan (Red/Black-Gray) about a month ago. I looks new and drives great with about 75K miles on it.

I looks to me that the rear of the car sits lower than the front with less space between the top of the tire and the wheel well than the front has. I do notice that when I hit a bumpy patch in the road while going around a curve it feels as if the back end ”bounces” out to the side. I’ve also felt this while changing lanes and hitting a rough patch in the road (70+mph). My wife had a 98 V70 and now a 2001 V70 and I never felt it ride like that.

I was thinking about upgrading the suspension and was looking for opinions on what people have liked and/or disliked with different shocks, springs, swaybars etc. This is my everyday commuting car and I put about 500 miles a week on it, and Im not looking to customize it out, just get the ride to be better. After driving my 87 245 for so many years this is a major improvement, but I can want better right?

I’m bringing it in to my independent Volvo specialist Friday to have them check everything and Id like to start shopping around for parts after I know whats what.

Thanks
