eibach pro kit clearance issues

[slyguy]

So I got some eibach springs for super cheap. However since I got them installed I seem to be having a clearance issues in the rear. It seems that anytime 3 or more people or equivalent weight is added to the car my wheels are rubbing the fenders. Seriously with 4 people going 4 block my wheels rubbed the whole way Had to park the car or shed the excessive weight. Riding on stock struts and 205/40/17 tires. Would going back to the stock 195/50/16 tire or perhaps upgrading to aftermarket struts help this problem?
I really don't want to switch back to the stock springs.

roll the fenders? the rear fenders stick far out more than the front

Try rolling the fenders first, if this doesn't work then sadly you may have to revert back to stock wheels and tires.

Anyone know how to do this diy or should I get a pro to do it?

I believe you can rent a tool, bolts to the hub using the lugs and it's just a wheel on an adjustable post that rolls back and forth. Some guys use a baseball bat and hammer I think tho lol tool is 60 bucks to rent last I saw

do it yourself get a hammer and start smashing=)

Baseball bat and a hammer. I rolled out mine so they don't rub even with 3 people in the back.

thats how low it is. With 3 people it goes down much more but still no rub.
