From what I've read... the mushy/cushy springs started on the 90 series (both V and S) when it replaced the 960 in '97. The '95-'97 960 uses the same suspension with higher rate springs at both ends. Those cars got good handling reviews - even better than the 940 with the older type suspension that goes back to '83.

You probably do not have the Nivomat option, making it easier to fit stiffer rear shocks to the car. A quick glance at the current rear shocks will tell you which. Body of shock at bottom = standard tube type. Upside down with accordion boot on shaft = Nivomats.
