Oh yea... there could be a host of clearance problems... you may have to use different tire sizes. Alot of things have to be considered even when using lowered spindles. Problem with our front ends is that the suspension travel, even at stock height is very small, get the car loaded with 4 people and your down close to the snubber already, so you take out what little travel thier is and you start creating a very harsh ride and shock loading the beam innards or risk bending a lower arm in a pothole. No simple answers, or solutions, at least for those that drive their cars over roads that are less than silk smooth.
