The eibach springs are front only, the back is adjustable via the torsion bars

 

I find anything up to 40mm is great, big yes to eibachs and maybe a bigger rear anti roll bar if you can stretch.

 

Don't use the word stance it's not welcome here

'Stance' is a term that has been associated with car design for decades, it is not in any way new and you are more than welcome to use it here.

 

You might have a point about the words 'Stanced' and 'Stancing' but that is another discussion entirely.
