Hi guys,
my experience is limited to my EH but if you are using a HR front end on any of your projects then using HQ stub axles will lower the front about 1 1/2 inches without cutting springs. Also i had 14x7 steel rims front and rear, with 205-60/14 FR and 245-50/14 rears. The back was a tight fit, and i ended up having to use a 1" swaybar and air shox to stop the tire rub when cornering. Apart from that i didn't have to roll or flare the guards at all.
