Re: lowering the front
what is the drop on the springs? i would say no since you already have dropped spindles (i also believe belltech are 3" drop as opposed to 2.5" drop...an expert will chime in on this one). you can also trim (grind) your lower control arm contact points to correct your rubbing issues
