ECE spindles with 8 inch rally's will rub the wheel rim on the lower control arm. Much better option is to use 7 inch rally's on the front when using drop spindles.

Barring that, cut one coil from your front springs. That will give you between 2 and 3 inches of drop and not cause the rubbing issues like drop spindles will. That way is cheaper and allows you to use 8 inch wheels on the front.
