Lowering the back? Whats your budget?
You can simply install lowering springs or replace your stock shocks and springs with aftermarket ones that have adjustable heights.

I don't have no idea what the cheapest or the most expensive is. I'll look around. Any suggestions? Does it take a master mechanic or just about anyone can do it?

Jokes aside. Look into some lowering springs, or if youve got the money you can get adjustable coilovers,which will allow you to adjust the height to right where you want it. the search button is your friend, or if that isnt working just use google. good luck!

OP, why do you want the rear end lowered only? Is it noticeably higher than the front? Pics?

depending on what region you live in, what your tool set looks like, and your mechanical knowledge, you can do it yourself.

If you live north, don't have proper tools (I.E. trying to use standard sockets on metric bolts because it's "close enough") and aren't mechanically inclined enough to be able to handle seized bolts in bushings, take it somewhere.

It's not too hard of a job, other than most of the bolts will most likely be rusted on. Just get some coilovers or lowering springs like everyone else said.
