think it just didn't seat correctly with the initial install 4 inch drop spindles / springs combo I made sure it was positioned properly on the lower control arm when I put it back together it seemed better but didn't pass the finger between the tire and fender test on each side
I then put my milk crate seat in took it on the street in my neighborhood and wanted to beat on it any way.... second burn out I heard a loud thump I assumed my spring positioning process was a success ....all kidding aside it must have needed that trauma to seat properly .....I struggled with same color inner fenders and now very happy with it engine bay does look brighter cleaner and show cases the engine
thanks for asking will be looking for yours
