What size tires are you running on the 16s? That can make all the difference. 195/50/16 is about 1/2 inch shorter diameter from the stock size. Lots of people are running that tire with no issues. Even on lowered cars.
I didn't have rubbing issues, but I had a sagging rear end so I added rubber spacers below the springs to lift the car about 3/8" to level things out. I made mine from old semi-truck mud flaps. I just cut some "O" shapes, put them on the lower perch and put the springs back in. It didn't make the ride any stiffer in my opinion.
I believe that the SD springs are lowering springs.
