On my 71 super I have 2 1/2 ECE spindles 1 1/2 springs and my 15/7 and 15/8 ralleys fit fine with no rubbing at all. If you have older wheels for drums they might not fit. I know some older chevy cars the drum wheels would not work for disc. I dont know if the extra 1/2 inch of drop will hurt or not. ECE tech told me my 2 inch lowering springs would bottom out in normal driving.I went with the 1 1/2 springs he recommended and am glad I did.I have to really push it as in balls out to bottom out the front. Oh yeah I cut the snubbers in half for just a little more room.
