IF you install shorter (i.e.,lower rest height) springs, you must either
a) raise the spring mount height,
b) shim the rear hub to correct camber, or
c) a combination of both.
Note that Saab *DID NEITHER* when they installed shorter springs, resulting in excess rear tire wear due to excessive camber. That the springs also take a set (sag) upon full compression just makes it worse.
Personally I look askance at correcting sagging springs by raising the spring mount, as you do nothing to correct the reduced compression travel of the suspension. "sport" springs compensate for that reduced compression travel by having a stiffer spring rate.
