Welcome to MVS. The front may be 1/2" lower than when it was new, but springs are normally good for the life of the car. As far as squat, this is a European sport sedan that hugs the road. We have had our S70 since new and my wife had to quickly get used to watching out for parking behind higher than normal curbs.
'98 S70, 230k, purchased new in '98
'96 855 GLT, 163k, purchased lightly used in '99

How is the overall condition of the car? Are all the suspension components original? Does it feel loose, worn or rattley? Does the car track straight or pull left or right? Does it vibrate or shake?
