Quite often, the "sag" is normal. Check the heights in the service manual
to see if you are really sagging or not.

Even then, if you are, you may find that it is a matter of the bushings at
the spring ends to the bolts have mashed flatter than when new. Basically,
the hockey pucks are just acting like slightly thicker bushings.
