I'm afraid you're stuck with finding the Nivomat self-levelers.
If you look the ones for this car can be found for $180 ea. You'd probably spend that plus a bunch of time to do anything else.
At one time someone offered the limo springs which were stronger and didn't need Nivo's to work.
The springs were more than $400 for the pair plus the price of normal shocks.

on edit:
I can't find anyone with those shocks today for the 180 price. I see them for 225 at volvowholesaleparts.com
The IPD kit with limo springs and reg shocks is $399 but I'm not sure they have it in stock.
