Arrow Load leveling options?

Ok guys, apologies upfront if this is sacrilege. Love my 02 avant and aside from being my daily driver it also hauls my gear and tows my GSXR 600 motorcycle to the racetrack. Yes, it has a receiver and tows around 1000 lbs of bikes from time to time. With a trailer and full cargo hold it rides pretty low in the back. Anyone have load-leveling suspension suggestions?

I've been considering an eibach lowering kit for performance and appearance reasons which would probably tend to aggravate the problem, unless there is some sort of airbag retrofit option? Thoughts?

Thanks, all!

helper bags!! then you can lower it and still maintain level ride height.

i once saw an imola avant on the, 5N heading to bakersfield, carrying 3 or 4 dirt bikes. couldnt believe my eyes. these cars are beasts!

Thanks, any first hand experience? It isn't obvious to me how they would install considering the damper is inside the springs both front and rear. Doesn't appear to be a lot of space for external perches either but maybe someone has made it work?

no first hand experience on the "s" car, but i did help a buddy install them on a nissan titan. Peolp run air ride systems on their s4's so it shouldnt be too difficult to install. cutting into the car may be involved.
