Struts & Lowering Springs... Help!

I'm new and will properly introduce myself later, but right now I need some help (hope I'm not being too forward...). I have a 1990 Corolla GTS and I am in the process of "pimping the ride" a little. I purchased Eibachs (1" drop), new slotted/drilled rotors, new SS brake lines, HKS cat-back exhaust, my calipers as we speak are being re-built and coated and loaded with new Hawk street pads. My dilemma is this: the adjustable Koni struts I ordered are not readily available for the rear. I can get the fronts, but the rears are back-ordered 8 weeks. I need to get my car back on the road and I'm afraid to settle for non-adjustable KYB or Tokico. I've head that I will have problems bottoming out, that they will just wear out in no time on a lowered vehicle and the ride will be too bouncy. I'm thinking maybe get the front Konis and just waste the KYBs in the rear until the Konis are available. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated, I need to order something today as I've been without my car for almost 3 weeks now. Thanks.

HAve you looked into getting Tein. I installed Tein coilovers on my brother's 2004 Toyota Matrix.

Springs

Just use the stock ones until the backordered come in.. Problem solved, with the springs you want, and basically.. free!
