But the most important was to replace the lower rubber bushings which didn't look nice. At the same time replace the spring and pads was almost no extra cost for me.

I took some photos and wrote text to them to explain what was done:
2005 years Chrysler Crossfire: New rear chassi parts

In the spring I will do the same to the front.

Thanks a lot for all information you all have given me.

The original inner lower control arm bushings are very soft. I do not know why those bushings were so very soft from the factory, but replacing them with the yellow polyurethane makes a lot of sense. IS the height difference left to right on the rear of your car corrected? What do you think was causing that difference and which coil spring pad did you use, 5 or 9 mm?
