Suggestion
There's a fair chunk of labour for removing and refitting the dmapers and springs along with the subsequent setting of ride heights, corner weights and geo set up.

Though if the Ohlins will suffer as well, it wont be worth the extra outlay for how i use the car if you know what i mean?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So rear end sag affects all 911's (i imagine and not just the GT's) and after say 7 years or x amount of miles, it all needs refreshing.
Now are after market suspension components also susceptible to this or are they a bit more robustly built?
Ive got mine booked in at CG in 6 weeks time for OEM refurb etc but just wondering if its worth going with Ohlins R&T. Though if the Ohlins will suffer as well, it wont be worth the extra outlay for how i use the car if you know what i mean?

The springs and dampers aren't bad quality, but the rears do get to live a hard life, having to control both the weight of the engine and 'box and being heat cycled by the exhaust system. Both the front and rear springs are susceptible to corrosion issues.
Fitting a new set of springs will maintain the OE ride quality and refinement, added to rebuilt OE Bilsteins, the whole process will cost you £400 + vat for the damper refurb and another £260 + vat for the springs. There's a fair chunk of labour for removing and refitting the dmapers and springs along with the subsequent setting of ride heights, corner weights and geo set up. But it still falls a long way short of the cost fitting a set of Ohlins R & T's.
The Bilsteins should give you another 20k miles at which point they'll slowly start to deteriorate (they've modified the damper rod bushes and seals, and thus they should remain oil tight far longer than the original build spec dampers) The springs will probably last another ten years, and longer if you waxoyle them and the dampers after they've been installed.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
