And the best cure for sagging rear Eibachs is....
....a new set of H&Rs for the rear -and it turned out to be a kick-*** good combination.
My rear Eibachs started sagging about six months ago, and last week were four tenths of an inch lower in the back than when originally installed new. That's a lot of extra and unwanted drop and it was making itself felt in the ride department plus the Max had developed the same nose-high look it did when on OEM springs.
But, the front was perfect, only one tenth of an ich of settling plus I really liked the spring rate of the front springs so.....got myself a set of H&Rs & yesterday swapped the tired rear Eibachs for the new H&Rs and I love it the combination!!
The rear climbed back up six tenths -two tenths higher than when the Eibachs were new- and now the car has the subtle forward slant I was wanting all along. Indeed, the ride has smoothed substantially as well, it's nice!!
For those of u who might be worried about mixing & matching springs, this was a great result...

So...were you able to buy just the rear HR or did you get the whole set? If you got the whole set, then you have an extra set of fronts. 
I have been thinking about getting some lowering springs for the front only, the rear looks fine to me on stock springs. KYB GR2 all around with HR front springs a nd stock rears. Subtle, but enhanced.
