Dear K - I have the same problem with the Eibach rear ARB fixing. The ARB is right up against the Bilstein bolt. There seemed to be no reply from the chap in Spain to your advice to turn the shocker 180 degrees. I would rather not test it to find rubbing so I wondered if you had any further thoughts on that one?
The Eibach seems to be the same shape as the standard unit we took out, and we tried it upside down, in the end going for the fact that the Germans would have the writing the right way up!
My car is an early 2003 TF 160, I bought the Bilsteins separately from both RBs and it is only now that we managed to fit the rear ARB. We found that the drop-link threads were actually of different lengths - (from different sources) - one set had the fluted plastic covers, which had slightly longer bolts, and the other had plain matt metal - so in fact we had to swap the fluted from front to back - and what a bugger to get them off due to MG rust!
BTW I am in Victoria.
