Default Rear End sagging

The *** of my car is sagging pretty pad. Its lower than the front. Is this the result of worn out rear springs? If so, Ill be looking to order some new/stiffer rear springs, but all the aftermarket rear springs rates seem to be really really low. Im guessing the shocks are used to control the stiffness of the rear? Also, my ride height is off on a few corners of the car. I dont think shocks attribute to ride height do they? Basically I need to stiffin this bitch up and get the ride height even at all four corners.

What shocks and springs do you have now? Are they original and how many miles on them?

Springs hold the car up. Shocks control the "bounce".

So I need new springs? I dont want to lower the car because I will have major clearance issues. Where can I find a stiffer rear spring that will hold the car at the stock height?
