Ever since I purchased my car there has been a grinding noise as I can best describe it coming from the rear passenger side of my car. This grinding can only be heard when my car has passengers or when I'm alone and I accelerate. When I have passengers the grinding can be heard all the time during the ride, but when I'm alone it only occurs when I accelerate to catch up to traffic but cannot be heard when the car is coasting. Anyone have any idea what this can be? My suspension consists of stock strucks and shock from the look of it and lowering springs.

Probably has something to do with rubbing. I'd say the easiest way to check it put a few people in the back of the car, and check around the rear wheels if the tire or wheel is touching anything. Could be inner or outer fender, could be exhaust clearance issue. Just try to be as thorough as possible.

I'm tempted to say that it could also be your E-Brake cable, though I don't know why it would do it with just you in the car. My car will scrape the E-Brake cable quite often with people in the car. ReplicaR has good advice also.
