Any experts out there who can tell me if this has a more than likely chance of interference with outer fender lip or fenderwell? Would it be possible to go even lower... say 3" from stock? I know "stock" varies car to car but this appears to be stock original springs and all original suspension. With the current 215/70r15 tire, the bottom edge of the highest part of the front fender lip is above the top of the tire when viewed level from the side. This needs to be remedied!

Pretty much everyone here will tell you to avoid the drop spindles and go with drop springs. There are various issues with the spindles.
