Coupe Doors Sagging

Hello,

I dont think that my 82 doors are saggy, but I recall reading here long ago that this can be common. makes sense with the very long doors. Since my coupe will see a lot of use, I want to be proactive about it. I tried to search but didnt seem to find much pertaining to coupes or situations beyond when somebody replaces the door (likely for rust).

How do you prevent door sag? I assume it is related to hinge wear (so long as nothing is damaged and the frame is straight), so one should oil the hinges regularly.

If one does see some sag, what is the right way to adjust for it?

Are 123 coupes prone to this?

Thanks for the insight!
