19's What springs?

I just bought a set of 19" Axis Spyders and They rub!!! I have 215/35/19 Pirelli tires on them. I have koni struts, Eibach sportline springs and SPC camber kits on the front and back. I have already rolled the rear fenders. Now they only rub when I hit a bump turning and the front will rub a bit when I turn at higher speeds. I want a new spring that has less than 1.75 drop. I want maybe a 1" drop would be fine, needs to be kinda stiff but still a good ride. I DO NOT WANT COILOVERS! Any Ideas? If anyone has 19's I'd appreciate any help.

um set the reat to a little more negative then usual. You will wear your tires down more but it won't rub as much. The Eibach prokit is only a 1" drop and after settling a little more. That should do ya. Everything else might be too low for those tires. Even then you still might rub going over bumps or speed humps. Are 19's really worth it??

Yea the 19's are badass!!! Sould I be using my bumpstops with the koni's? That wouldn't let the strut compress as much and prolly keep it from rubbin'.

umm why dont you just get full coilovers? i understand you dont want coilovers but why not? tein ss. b&g rides great.
prokit would work well as well if you really want springs.(1')

What if I took off my sportline Springs and put in the pro kit, and put the bump stops back in will that fix my problem?
