Well, I thought this was a problem for a lot of IRS' users, I found a good solution for my 92-960 with completely dead Nivomat suspension, I ordered a pair of coil springs from an Arizona manufacturer, 13" by 5", 300 pounds rate, for $29 each, and replaced the nivomat coil springs ONLY, which by the ways were both broken at their ends.
Since the nivomats were not pumping up, just dead, I left them in because they still work as dampers only, and the stronger coils hold very well the weight of the car.
The rear wheel wells look a little high, like 3" above the tire, but it still looks good, and the ride is MUCH better and safer, bumps are not a problem for me anymore.
