I finally installed my Eibach's in the rear. They made it sooo low. I wish the front were the same. Hopefully the front will settle a bit more. It looks kind of funny right now because the rear is way lower than the front. What I don't understand is that it is supposed to lower the car 1.4"F 1.2" rear. Kinda seems like the opposite to me. For people wondering about getting Eibach's and have searched the archives, my rear springs do not rattle. Neither do my front. My front rattled earlier because I didn't screw the strut mount tight enough so it was able to move around. I fixed the problem now and the ride is smooth. The rears were significantly shorter than the stock spring. I didn't even need a spring compressor to put the spring onto the shock. You just throw it on and screw the strut mount down. Kinda neat, makes life easier. I would say the ride is now 25% stiffer. Not that much of a difference, but I say a 200% handling improvement. Now for my tires in the rear I did NOT need to roll my fender lips. I am running 205/55R16 in the rear with a 20mm offset. I think this is borderline for tiresize without having to modify the fender. Because I can't even fit my finger between the body and the tire, but still no rubbing. I would say it's less than 1/8 of an inch from the body though. Hope this helps some of you if anybody decides to purchase the springs in the future.
