Watch a couple of things - first, rubbing of rear tires under load, if you 
increase the wheel/tire combo.  Second, you might blow the shocks in short 
order, since they will be in their "load zone" and are not designed to hold a 
lowered car.  However, this is speculation, and may just be BS from higher 
priced shock companies, although it does make a certain amount of sense.  All 
in all, the Eibachs are nice springs, though not as low or stiff as the H&R's.
