   Personally i would raise the back 15-20mm to match the front and then should resolve most of your rubbing.
   
   Only way of doing that is by doing the same method of lowering, remove torsion bars and rather than reduce the height increase it by about 15-20mm.
   
   Not sure where your from but i lower/higher torsion bars for £40, im in plymouth, southwest

   lols @ kam!
   id lift the rear 15-20mm as mattg said but......
   
   at the end of the day we do the work!!
   and you have to live with it so would be up to you!!
   id say minimum of 10-15mm as a reccomendation though
   
   hope this helps
