So your tires are 225/45/17's in front? I run 245/40/17's in front with one finger gap between fender and tire with no rubbing.
Any Eibach Springs owners with issues? rubbing?

Any Eibach Springs owners with issues? rubbing?
I recently bought the car really lowered and the front tires rub bad. The rears bottoms out with 4 people when I hit bumps. It's an Eibach Pro-Kit (I think) because the springs say Eibach and have this on them:
Front Springs:
11 250 0103V
Rear Springs:
EW 253 8002
I don't know if the springs were cut but whatever I have sucks. Shocks look stock.
Has anyone used the Mercedes PAD System to correct this issue?

Sounds like the springs are cut because Eibach doesnt lower the car that much (~1-1.2"). There is no way the car will have rubbing problems with just the springs uncut.
And your car doesnt have spring pads in the front, even the springs pads wont help you much because the difference between the thickest pad and thinnest pad is only a little more than 1/2".

I agree - shouldn't rub!

If they are stock tires and rims they will not rub even if slammed to the ground. That is the purpose of the bump stops. to keep the tires from contacting the fenders. They can't be stock size tires or rims.

When I remove the tires I'll get pictures. You'll love them. :-/
