I have not. I'm curious how to get to the rear. The fronts of course are easy. I'm thinking I'll have to jack the car up to get access to the rears.

I’ve got the same Hatchback as you and 20mm Spacers all around. Besides the springs did you have to do anything else?
Car looks sweeet

The rears are at the top of the shock, so as you said, you'd have to jack it up.
Check this thread if you haven't seen it before to see the rears:

D2 springs appear to be on back order until next month unless someone knows a site selling them. Ebay sellers have them for $1500+ at the moment.

Hey all, I have a 16' Touring that I want to drop, but I've never done any suspension mods on a car before so I need some advice.
I want to maintain the safety and comfort of the stock ride, while reducing body roll and ride height. However, since I've never had lowered suspension, I don't want to be in danger of scraping every time I go over an average speed bump or pull into someone's driveway.
Based on what I want out of the suspension, I'm guessing the best option would be lowering springs? And if that's the case, what springs would be best for me? And at what point is camber correction necessary for the rear? I don't want to wear out my tires quicker than they should, so I want all suspension angles to be in range.

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit and have zero issues with speed bumps. The only issue I have with driveways, is my own. There is about a three foot section where it transitions to the street that is at a 45 degree angle. If I did not have a lip, It would not be a problem at all. As long as I go slow and at an angle(or back in and out) I don't scrape at all. As far as comfort, the difference is very minimal and only slightly stiffer. With the Pro-Kit, I could have gotten away without installing a camber kit and it would have still aligned within specs, but I installed one anyway, just to be safe. If you want a little drop, but don't want the traditional problems associated with lowering, this is the way to go.
