Default Will rear spring sag cause pinion angle changes?

the reason I am asking is this:
I don't want to lower the car with springs but due to age and 100+ lbs of stereo in the rear, she's getting pretty low in the hiney. I was considering one of two options to level:
-"helper" air spring in the rear per Sam's suggestion
-Koni shocks using the lower perch in the front

I WILL get a torque arm at some point but need to know if this sag in the rear will change the pinion angle. If it does, I'll just get an adjustable TA. If not, I'd prefer get the non-adjustable unit and use that extra $100 for something else.

Any thoughts on this?

Lifting my car by the SFC (and letting the rear hand down) causes a 2+ degree change in my pinion angle.

Get the adjustable one.
