I'm suprised that you are having the problems with the ride height. Is the engine already installed? That will bring it down some. I have a set of dropped coils right now but the spindles should be here next week. I thought about leaving it as is but decided to use the dropped spindles to eliminate the space between the wheel & fender.
I went to the link you provided and say the issues with brake lines & dropped spindles. Is that the same problem you're having?
