Im going with the same setup and lowering my car an inch with Eibachs. IMO, an inch is enough. I didnt want to have any rubbing issues or have to roll my fenders.

Espelir and Tein are good products for the money.

Espliers lower 1.3 all around right? and Tein lowers the front 1.2 and the rear .98. Wouldnt there be a possibility that the front could also rub too.

Not to HiJack your thread but, if your going with a wheel like the SSR Professors with 18X8F+49, its offset is a bit low, would it rub?

Espelir are great springs for 17's not sure about 18's. I think the drop is probably your biggest concern. Espelir is a 1.3 drop and with 17's there's no rubbing at all.

I have Tein and they drop it about an inch in the front and 1.5 in the back. I would go with Tein.
