Default Re: Eibach springs and rear sitting too low

All,
I had the Koni/Eibach combo installed on my 2005 Limited Roadster. Went with the TVT recommended front/rear spring pad sizes of 5 dot/21mm front,
1 dot/5mm rear as opposed to the stock (?) 2 dot/9mm front, 3 dot/13mm rear. The thread never specified coupe or Roadster, only SRT or N/A.The drop in front resulted in a fender/tire gap of approx. 1 inch - good to go. The rear however is SLAMMED !!!!!!!! Approx. 1/4 inch gap between fender and tire (stock size Michelins P/S 2 A/S's with a full bag of gas). Am hoping a set of 4 dot 17mm pads/shims/isolators will get the body off the tires. The scuffing I saw in the rear wells (while getting the TPMS sensors replaced).at top center I attribute to the additional negative camber introduced with the shorter springs. Verified coils were installed right side up. Theory is additional ( ~ 200 pounds +) weight of the convertible/Roadster, particularly aft is the culprit. Then I can move on to getting the TVT adjustable camber/toe/caster rods/bolts installed.
