Thanks ALOT for the compliments guys... Reading'em just made my 4 hr detailing job worth it!! 
I'd absolutely LOVE to keep the springs [ they are DMS with Koni SAs all around ] but the rear tires rub so much around turns, and bumps...
I cringe everytime I go around a turn above 40 mph and hear that " Khurrrrrrrrr " sound 
At the very least I need to get the fender lip rolled to be able to ride on these springs, but :
1 - I don't wanna hammer'em in myself because I fear I'll end up cracking the paint or worse yet, cause body damage
2 - I've been to a few body shops, and they either don't wanna do it because of the possibility of body damage and they being held liable for it OR, they're asking for a rediculous amount [ $200 + ] to do it..

First off, car looks great!
As for the rear wheels, I rolled my own fenders with the help of another board member (Arachnotron). I rented the roller and a heat gun from Tony (Nine Ball), but there is another board member who rents his out and I believe he's in the tri-state area, which should work out better for you. It's not hard, as long as you take your time and do it a little at a time. As for the rubbing, your options are to hammer in the inner fender wells OR you can look into getting some 1/4" wheels spacers. You can do up to 1/4" without having to change your wheel studs. Anything bigger and you should get longer studs, for safety's sake. 1/4" is very small, but should give you the clearance you need.
