You should be fine with the Eibach Pros, it's a very popular kit with forum members.

There are two potential problems with running slightly lower as you will be:

  1. You may find that the ARB fouls the driveshaft at full lock, in which case you can fit some Mondeo droplinks as they are shorter and lift the ARB out of the way;
  2. You may find the bushes and top mount squeak due to being under slightly different loads because of the lower running height - you'll just need to spray on white grease occasionally until they've bedded-in to their new positions.

...but these are only POTENTIAL problems, and aren't hard to fix, even if you do suffer from them!

However speaking from experience, I wouldnt go any lower then eibachs without coilovers are it causes other issues like rubbing, faster wear and tear on the bushes, harsher rubbing of the droplinks, one hell of a rough ride on british roads.....but a nice stance and good handling lol.
