Well, I contacted Eibach. That spring 6393.002 is the rear part number for the 6393.140 Pro kit, which intends for a 0.8" rear drop and a 0.9" front drop.

If everything is installed correctly then that isn't a very aggressive drop- so maybe I should look at replacing the front bumper... I can't be scraping every tiny little bump I go over...

I definitely have to get some measurements, so I am not just posting conjecture and speculation on here... but is it possible the springs are installed improperly causing them to be far more compressed than they should?

The car is pretty low to start with so I'm guessing that you just have the 0.9" front drop which is causing you to scrape. There is certainly no way you can screw up installing the front springs except for failing to torque down the top nut for the spring perch, but that wouldn't make it lower just horrible noises.
