Sagging S90 - Determine Nivomat/Non-Nivomat from VIN? 900

As I understand it, there are at least 2, possibly 3 different leaf springs produced for these cars.

-Nivomat equipped cars have the weakest leaf spring (because, as you noted, Nivomats actually help suspend the car).

-Traditional rear shock cars have a beefier leaf spring than Nivomat cars.

-There may be an even stronger spring for V90/965s for the third row seat/extra cargo. I read about wagon owners using sedan leaf springs as an OEM way to lower their car.

My confusion stems from the fact that there are no accounts of these leaf springs weakening over time!
