Do you think this kit should be all that I need?

I don't think it's my springs, struts. Front control arms were replaced, a long while ago. Still fine. Car has 170k miles. Rear suspension is undoubtedly original. I've known the car it's entire life.
Likely all you need to change are the rear ball joints. Wouldn't hurt to replace the rest, but the sagging is usually caused by shot ball joints.
