Oh yeah, the SSC springs with the wheels spaced out like that... you will more than likely rub, guaranteed. I don't have spacers and mine is fine.

The rear wont be lowered for a while so i should be fine with spacers? Only working on the front for now. It will be after christmas before the rear gets low so i threw the spacers on til then

I'm more worried about my exhaust since I lost it on a massive speed bump when the car wasn't even lowered (I've refused to park in a parking ramp since then haha).. I think welding the downpipe section should prevent that since the clamps break loose so easily.

Oh you should be fine then. It'll only become an issue when you do go to lower the rear but if you're removing the spacers at the time you lower the rear, you will be fine.

Front rust removal should be almost complete by tonight
Got 2 good coats of Por15 over my rusty areas and also got the front frame/radiator support sanded/primered/painted. Going to clear coat it later tonight and let it dry good.
Hopefully I'll have everything re-assembled by tomorrow. Might send off my cross braces, dog bones, and engine mounts to be powdercoated. Not really liking the polished/black look. It would look better coated or chromed and I can't find anywhere local that chromes for an affordable rate
I sware I put two or three layers of plastic over the whole car haha! No overspray anywhere for me
Completed pics to come later
