Hello,
I have a 1995 940 LPT estate with an LPG conversion. As a result there is an
LPG tank in the spare wheel well, as well as the spare wheel in the boot.
The result of this is that the back hangs down a little.
However when I pull our sailing dinghy and load the boot with all the
paraphernalia required to go camping with a wife and two children the back
hangs down a lot. At night time oncoming traffic will often flash us as our
dipped headlights dazzle them.
What options are there to prevent the back hanging so low?
A local garage has suggested placing a set of (smaller) inner suspension
springs inside the standard ones. They showed me their 740 fitted with these
and it looks neat. However I don't know if these will make the suspension
too stiff (after all most of the time we don't tow a boat and don't have the
boot loaded with camping kit).
Any opinions?
Thanks, Matthew

Volvo sold overload springs for the 200 series, I believe IPD sells them
too. They may have something for a 900 but I've never checked. The inner
springs are a good idea as well, it will make the ride a bit stiffer, but
just the right amount of spring will get you back to where you started.
