      Lower Control Arms Touching Brake Rotor

      Arrrrrgggggg

      Well after several weekends working on my 69 GTO (A-Body) I finally have the car back on the ground.

      Installed the SC&C Suspension Kit:
      SPC Upper Control arms
      Howe tall ball joints
      SPC Lowering Springs
      Kept my stock spindles
      Kept my stock Lower Control arms

      Tonight I started adjusting the camber and noticed that the lower control arm is touching the brake rotor. As part of the SPC Installation instructions the disc brake splash guard has to be cut away on the bottom so the lower control arms has clearance. However, my lower control arm needs even more clearance. It is slammed into the brake rotor.

      Any help would be appreciated. Is there some sort of shim I can put behind the rotor to push it
      out about a 1/4 inch? Any ideas? Anyone experience this?
