Depending on how much you drop the car, determines other changes.
I had a borla on my 01. When I put on the Eibachs, as soon as I left the shop, the thing would clunk. Turns out the pipe that goes over the axle was too shallow to clear and would hit when I hit bumps. Plus the left arm of the Watts linkage gets pretty close to the pipe as well.
You don't need new shocks, although, suspension travel is more noticeable. Because the stock shocks are not calibrated for the lowered springs, they tend to burn out sooner than if you left it alone.
My Bassani did the same thing after I lowered it as well, but it was contacting near the bumper. Not a lot of room under there.
Don't despair, a solution I went with was to remove the spare from under the car, have a boot made for it and put it in the trunk. It is flat enough that the cargo tray can go to it's lowest position with clearance.
I know how you feel, it is very dissappointing when you commit financial and emotional energy, it's hard not to be a perfectionist.
I would lower the front though, I can't imagine only lowering the back gives a very balanced look.
