What are the best heavy-duty coil springs? 700 1991

I've got the Scan Tech HD springs on my wagon, and I'm happy with the ride & performance of these coils under all conditions. However, I believe these are actually stock-type replacement spings for a wagon, rather than "overload" coils, such as IPD sells.

These are the ones you're thinking of on the FCP site, right?

30.6621 Rear Heavy Duty Coil Spring all 740/760/940/960 Sedan's and Wagon's w/o Multilink

These correspond to Volvo part #1359710, which is listed on WoldPac parts sites thus:

11.9mm wire diameter
std duty for wagon
hvy duty for sedan
Not for models equipped with Nivomat self-leveling rear shocks unless rear shocks also replaced with non-self-leveling type.

I did have the appearance of slight rear-end sag when I installed these spings, until I replaced the front ones, which restored the "normal" ride height all around.

If you want the benefits of a "real" overload coil, spend the extra $$ for the IPDs.
