Thank you.
Of course my wagon have self-leveling suspension.
Like I wrote, the accumulators (1403280215) have recently been changed (OEM, Febi-Bilstein, changed last year).
These were totally gone and the car was extremely bouncy in the rear.
The new parts improved this dramatically, but I still think the car is a little too stiff when unladen.
The rear springs installed on the car are reinforced (harder springs, 1243241204).
According to the EPC, the springs intended for my car is 1243241104.

And I thought maybe the unladen comfort of the car would be better with the "correct" rear springs.
Again, when the car has approx. 150 kg in the trunk, it feels real fine.
