I suggest you look into Poly-Air or Air-lift bags to go inside the rear
coils. I did this on our 99 Turbo some years ago. I suggest separate
fillers, so one bag does not push air into the other on turns. Also, you
can 'adjust' one corner at a time. I'm sure these cost much less than a
set of springs. Go dig out a J.C. Whitney catalog.

I should remind you that shock mounts are not designed to carry weight.
Springs do that job. With airbags inside the spring, you are merely
increasing the spring rate a bit, not asking a component to do something
for which it was never designed.

Happy motoring,
Lane
