Springs and ride height

I have an 88 240DL with 208000 miles now.

The rear of the car appears to be sitting lower than the front. Also the front appears to be sitting higher than what I would think normal.

I figure that with this many miles the springs can be getting worn. So, I am asking if Volvos sit low in the rear normally?

Mainly I am interested in finding out the specs for height at the four corners. I may have to contact a body shop to see if they have the reference markers.

If after checking it out and I find the heights are not right I will change out all 4 springs and shockes.(It still has all original shocks and I am surprised it still rides well)
