I do get rubbing at extreme lock, but nothing thats a huge deal to me bcd I was going for a look as opposed to performance. The springs performed as well as the std eibachs in the corners. I have experienced zero 'darting' and the alignment is dead on to factory specs with the speedybenz.com camber adjustment bars. Ride is unchanged, maybe a little less firm.
I put the camber adjustment bars on mine after having darting problems with the eibach springs. It was suggested that I set the camber at zero. Now the car bottoms out on the right rear. It's real bad with passengers and when launching hard. What's your camber setting? It cured the rear end darting on loose surfaces. But I can't stand the bottoming out.
