I'm guessing you are running on stock wheels/tires. I've heard the Eibach kit lowers cars alot more than desired from... "performance".. drivers.. Maybe you should get bigger wheels/tires. You car will look lower... but you will actually benefit from it.

Oh, really. Those are the same dimensions I am running. Why do you want to lower it more? Let's get some pics of a sideshot of the car. Do you have any rubbing issues now? Larger wheels/lowering will def. do that.

I'm not 100% sure, but aftermarket lower control arms in the rear have adjustable spring perches, unless there is some crazy reason that the lowest spring perch=stock height, you could probably get LCA's with adjustable spring perches and lower the car. Unfortunatly this will not affect the front ride height.

I've got the MM extreme duty LCA's with adjustable spring perches... I have eliminated the rubbing issue and my car is as low as I want it to be... I haven't used them to their full "drop" potential.... But with 3/4 of an inch between the adjustable perch and the control arm... I'm sure they can drop a good bit.

Like I said I have not done this so do not take my way for the "right" way.
