The stock Holden shocks will sag over time. Especially if your car is lowered. You can just pop them out and replace them with some new ones. I did it on my VX wagon about 2 months ago. It's as easy as undoing about 5 nuts at the top and the 1 big one at the bottom and then putting the new ones in. You will feel a more firmer ride on gas shocks too and less arse squat on takeoff.
