Pretty sure VT plus were all IRS, no matter what model.
As for OP, there are a few threads on this with pictures. See if you can search for one.

get the job done by pro's aswell, the irs cars are known to develop serious camber problems

springs control ride hight so saging has to be springs all shocks do is stop the spring ocilateing
Off topic, i was chatting with a m8 at work abouts the springs he put in his car, im just like what are they super lows, ultras? Hes just like nah i just cut em in half, i can do yours as well if you like. I'm like nah i think ill stick with the king super lows i bought.
Some people have no idea.
yeh i know for sure its not the springs coz ive swapped em round with another set of SSL and the result is the same.. also its got no rubbers holding the spring in place i noticed this the other day while changing the springs.. there should be some type of rubbers holding it there shouldnt there??

I really dont understand why people only lower the back of their and having it look like the boot is full of bricks,looks shit i think,but thats just me. I recently bought a heap of VN-S bits which included a pair of lowered rear IRS springs,genuine not cut. I dont want them as i'll be getting whole lot done at a later date,If you want them let me know and you can have them for $50 plus postage

i have a set too $50 dollas for mine
and yes there needs to be rubbers on the spring
if you have a new set in then a arm would probaly be bent
would an adjustable panhard rod stop this?

could most probably be your shocks as going that low and having stock shocks has probably just stuffed them!
and they arnt doing there job?
how much of a sag is it? is it on the petrol tank side might be when you have a full tank might make it look worst?
lol im just throwing out ideas :P
and an adjustable panhard rod make it so you can center the rear axel to stop scrubbing out on the wheels as it tends to lean to one side when you lower it!
yeh it could be the shocks coz they are pretty old but i was thinkin of gettin the panhard rod coz my diff is centered like you said.. if got a set of shocks from an Spack VS ute im thinking about wacking those in couldnt hurt
