Eibach does make 1" lowering springs. I just wanted mine lower. I actually picked out the tires and rims first, had them mounted, and measured how much I could lower it.
The rubbing isn't bad, just annoying.

I used the 1 1/2". After about 1000 miles the car settled some, so it is probably close to 1 3/4" to 2" now. I have 8.5" x 17" rims and 255-45 z rated tires. I'm pretty happy with it.

Only when someone is in the back seat and I hit a moderate bump, such as a small pothole or RR track at speed, or if no one is in the back seat and it is a pretty good sized bump. I think it rubs on the top inside of the wheelwell. There are no scuff marks on the tire so it's hard to tell exactly where it rubs, but its not enough to damage the tire. I still kinda cringe when it happens, just from the sound of it. I think if there was a slightly different offset on the rims that put it outwards by maybe 1/4" or so it wouldn't happen.
