I really hope you trimmed the stock bump stops, pic looks like they were not in front at least.

SP lowering perches do not fit XI top hats.

XI front lower perch is higher than non XI so when you use non XI springs you always get a rear rake.

These topics and many more are discussed over and over in the XI section.

You are correct about on thing, the Eibachs are much softer springs than OEM XI. However what Eibach says about the drop does not apply here as these are not XI springs.
