even with wagon springs on a sedan, if I fill the trunk and hang 3 bikes off the back for a long trip, the suspension sags terribly. I wish I could get progressive or cargo springs for this car. Ride height comes back when the car is unloaded, but I had tire damage again on one of these trips this summer, and no further damage seems to be occuring now that the car is unloaded.

I did not do all the bushings last time around and I may consider doing this because I probably should have (as saabsince93b has pointed out). ride height is only slightly low front and back for an arc, and it is level and was aligned that way also...

I would like to find a combination of long lasting bushings and long lasting springs that work well even with the car loaded. Many use cargo springs on the c900 for this, but there does not seem to be a great similar option for the 9-5?
