I had the same problem with my '93 940T Wagon. I put load carrying springs on the rear, and it didn't change the height -- just made the ride good and firm. It turns out the front springs were actually too high.(???) I replace the fronts with standard springs from FCP Groton, and the car is now level (and much tighter.) The old springs that I removed would not even fit in the box that the new one's came in! Go figure. The other benefit of the new springs was that I got rid of the annoying front-end "dive" while braking. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive now.

Hope this helps.
