I want to lower the rear of my car to level out with the front. Does anyone have some suggestions and places to have it done in southern cali? I don't really want a drastic drop and don't want to sacrifice too much of the ride. Also what would i need? just the springs or would I need to change the struts and sway bar too? any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

I think the Steeda Ultralights will drop the whole car about an inch which will remove the rear fender gap and make the overall car look better. Dont feat about 1", some people alone getting into your car could make it sink more an inch :D

Roush rear springs will level the stance... about $120 a pair.

Your rear shocks will work with the Roush springs and you shouldn't need to realign the rear or change pinion angle. Every car is a bit different though, so it never hurts to check both after you install the springs.
