My car is now only 25 inches from the ground and about 1/2 inch wheel space. The lowering springs were only supposed to lower it 1.3". I do have 16" wheels, but they are 55 series tires, so I'm not sure what total difference in diameter that would make. Anyhow it does look quite different from the front.

My 1995 E320 is 25 & 1/8" from the ground after installing Eibach Pro Kit springs, Bilstein HD shocks, and 16" x & 7.5" wheels with 205/55/16 tires. I had to use 1-bump spring pads front and 3-bump spring pads in the rear to get a symmetrical drop, because the Eibachs dropped my car more in the rear. My car does not look quite as low as yours does.
My car was 1 & 1/8" higher before I added the springs and shocks. I also have just a little variation from the driver’s side to the passenger side of the car. The driver’s side is exactly the same front and rear, but the passenger side is just a little lower in front and a little higher in the rear. It might all be the same, however, when I sit in the car.

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
