Get the VIN for a base model wagon of your year 9-5, and provide that to the re-seller. It should provide them with all they need to sell you a spring that will work. It may be a bit high (in back) at first, but in time the "standard" rear ride height sags, and seems to me to be very compatible with the Aero front ride height. Three of my four 9-5s are like that now - I like the look of it. Quite level once the car is fueled up and packed to travel.
For instance, on the back of my 2001 9-5 Aero (sedan), which got new struts just 50,000 miles or so ago, I provided E-europarts with the VIN off my 04 Arc (sedan) and I used those Arc rear springs in place of the "correct" replacement 2001 Aero rear springs which didn't stay "right" long at all.
Trying to use sedan Aero rear springs would be 100% disaster, I think. I'd rather have the back of the vehicle a smidge too high, than way too low - the existing wagon springs you have now would be far better.
Don't forget to re-align. When the front is down but the rear is middlin', the front wheels tend to tow out - a blend of negative camber and tow out will wear the interior tread of your fronts out super fast.
