Default Eibach Sportline or Prokit w/ 315/35/17 tires in the rear

I'm debating whether to get the sportline or prokit from eibach. I have 315/35/17 in the rear. I know I will have to bend the inside fender for preventing the tire to rub. Any suggestions?

sportlines will ride like ****.....the pro-kit rears are too soft and will sag after a few months...your car will look like a 70's cadillac......i'd go with BMR's or Strano's.....i've had the Eibach pro-kit and my current BMR's are MUCH MUCH better.....you will need to BFH mod your inner wells in the rear and maybe roll the fender lip....i cut the bump stops out completely with a sawzall, but it was only necessary to fit the 335/35/17 Kumho's....my rear wheels now are 17x11 OE ZR1 replicas with 50mm offset and 315 Nitto's......my fender lips aren't rolled, they occasionally made contact with the 335's, but not with the 315's

Don't get either of those. If you want lowering springs get BMR's or Strano's. Or just do what I did and cut your stock springs. As far as rolling the fenders goes, I've got 315s and have not rolled my fenders. It only contacts them if I have extra weight in the back (rare) and hit a big bump. They don't appear to be damaging the tires at all, so I'm not too worried about it.
