Well I have the same problem. 2.5 drop spindles and 2" drop springs. Even with 2.5 drop spindles and 15/8's with a 4" BS my inner weights rub off if I turn to sharp. But also my caliper is maybe a 1/4" away from my rim so I would have to go WAY in with the weights if I did that option. So I have started to trim my a-arms but still need to go farther up the a-arm. I cant really see any problem with this as it is a cruiser only, and does not take any real abuse.
