I've been round a roundabout with a full car and had the same issue... Except mine has standard suspension not lowered and standard alloys and tyres. Is this worrying?

Yeah the red ones give a greater drop but I guess this isn't relevant now

Seems odd, I have the same springs (just like a lot of others) and haven't had serious rubbing issues with 4WS... I haven't even removed the bumper tabs. Maybe a bit of rub 4 up but only on the back and only on full lock/near enough.

You need to get your head under there and see what its rubbing on

Ive got the exact same springs but with koni sport shocks so same drop but mines a 4th gen. No rubbing and im running 16" wheels with 205 / 50 profile. The eibachs are one of the better makes of aftermarket springs so i would be surprised if there was a problem with them. Might just be that fully loaded they will rub slightly - you might be able to push the wheel arch liner up a bit as there is some adjustment there - thats if its rubbing on the inside of the wheel well.
Did you get your tracking and alignment done after fitting them?

LO

Could it be the EP3 Rims offset causing the rubbage

I have 215/45r17's on mine dropped 30mm , i had the rear tab problem but since i cut them off i have no rubbing issues at-all not even with a full car.

So really the only difference between mine and yours are the rims.

Good luck with finding the problem matey
