Rear end sag fix?

What usually causes rear end sag?

I noticed my TII sags in the back some, if you look right along the side you can see the rear tire is off camber. What should I start checking out? Maybe this is a good time to get some springs and a DTS elimination kit.

thats happening to me too, and it feels now like the wheel is too easy to turn, but the car does seem to have more grip, its very odd

what do you expect from 15 year old springs? adding lowering springs now will either raise it or keep it around the same since most stock ones are saging .

the camber is off because the car is lower. search for a rear camber link.

So do you think the Red bar is a band-aid for sagging springs? Do you think the springs are the problem? Id rather replace the springs if theyre the problem.

Being able to adjust the camber isn't neccesarily a 'band aid'. It's actually a useful tool for setting up your suspension regardless of whether the springs are bad or not.
If I were you I'd replace the springs AND use still ad camber adjustment. You can gain better alignment settings with it. Changing sagging, worn springs is a good idea for handling and safety regardless.
