    I'm not an expert on suspension, but do shocks cause a sagging condition? Seems like the spring lost some of its tension. Shocks only dampen the springs rebound when driving over a bump. When the shock is wore out, the car rebounds quite a few times before "settling".

    It seems he isn't aware of whats causing the problem and noone seems to be correcting him. Are you swapping out the rear springs and thought you would upgrade the shocks while you're at it? If not, installing new shocks won't help the condition. The springs are wore out.

    Springs + LCA's with adjustable spring perches. Of course it is wise to do shocks when doing springs. Mine are still available! :D
