Volvo R Sport Springs too low! 900

Can somebody tell me what the best practices for a 945T are with regards to *slightly* lowered suspension?

I got Volvo R-sport springs for my 945T wagon. The fronts are great .... just about 1" lower....fantastic!

The REARS.....Are WAY TOO LOW. Trust me on this, I know about the rear fender cutouts being lower than the front and all, but the car is honestly way too low in the rear. I need to raise the rear back up.

(I think the reason why the rear is too low is because the part # for the Volvo R-Sport springs is the same between the sedan and wagon and there just is too much weight in the wagon)

Anyways..... What shall I do ? Shall I pop the stock rear springs back in? Or should I cut a coil off the rear springs? If I cut a coil off then how do I get the spring to get that flat spring seat again?

I did a seach of the archives and noticed that quite a few people just cut the front springs a little bit and leave the rear alone.... is this correct?
Shall I jsut do this instead?

Thanks for all your help!
