Ok, believe this crap..... I actually drove the car this evening!! Woot woot!!

Now, I didn't have any rubbing that I could hear, however there was a tiny bit I rubber build up on the fender, but I can't tell if that was from before I got it aligned. I raised the car up a touch also. With it sitting on the level floor, there is about 1/4" clearance on the back side at the fender lip at full lock. I'm relatively sure it will rub at full lock while turning into a driveway or something like that. But in all honesty, at this point I'm not too worried about it because if the wheel is at full lock, I shouldn't be doing anything other than creeping around anyway. I had pulled the top bolts out of the fender about 20 years ago to alleviate rubbing, so I'm used to a LOW car that rubs occasionally.

Now, had I bought this system to fit "meats" up front, I'd be pissed! However, since I got dinky 7x17's up there, I'm ok with it. I will have to buy new shoes anyway if I wanted some fats up there.

If I could figure out how to resize pics on an iPhone, I would post up pics.
