If the rear is sagging sounds like mayhaps you need new springs and better shocks! I doubt shims and spacers is a proper fix that's more like old school US car fixes? they do wear out I just got some Bilstein for our 01' 9-5(brand new 2 for $100 !) and need to get some springs too this is a European luxury /sporty /performance car, not a Ford! it requires some maintenance and periodic parts replacement but I see many folks seem to not want to do the expected and rationalize it to their satisfaction most guys that optimize their 9-5(and 9-3 ) for the performance put aftermarket springs shocks and I have been pondering it myself slowly acquiring parts I was reluctant to put "lowering springs" as I didn't want to reduce ride height but practically springs are going to sag, the sport springs are (some )only an inch shorter and I bet they will sag, sack less as they are not that GM crap !
