The letters of the day are BFH! I managed to solve all of the issues with the coilover setup. 3/8" spacer brought the rear wheel out enough to clear the springs and once the camber corrects are installed there should be even more room. For the front I pounded the squash out of the inner wheel well to make room for the tires to turn. No more rub. 1/4" spacers brought the front out enough. Did I mention I hate drum brakes??!! Those are the first things Im replacing next year. It took a few hours and alot of swearing to figure out there is adjustable tension bolts for the shoes, so now my brakes arent locked up any more. :D The test drive was awesome. Before, it felt like the car was falling apart when cornering. Now, it is so solid and the ride is actually more comfortable, less noisy and less vibration. Crazy?! Tommorrow the camber and toe will get adjusted as well as new sneakers put on. Ill post pics of the new look soon.
The brakes work allright with only one set of calipers. Actually I dont notice a bit of difference. So a little less unsprung weight is good.
Thanks to everyone for the advice, help and info. You guys rock!

nice one man!

The total cost for my package was about $1,700.00 Everything was cheaper than advertised on the website (I think) and I am 200% happy with the products and generous service. Less expensive of course if you get fixed plates as opposed to adjustable, I also had them bend the strut housings to -1 degree. I bought the rear camber corrects, and also the subframe mount inserts.
