have a good look at springs and see if the ends are missing. They brake easy.
Are you sure its not been lowered with mv 6 suspension or similar?

Must admit seems odd...I have a 98 tourer, lovely car to drive 2.5v6 standard springs and shocks...even with a v6 engine (200+kg) and gearbox (75kg) in the back it doesnt rub and the towbar is comfortably off the floor...seems like there may be something wrong with your rear end perhaps???
