I know exactly the spot you're talking about. I kinda just want to take a dremel and cut that portion out flush and cover the hole with a flat plastic piece of some sort.

Okay, lets see.. With the 25mm fronts and swift springs, regular driving wont rub.. Only when thru bumps at a higher than desirable speed when the shocks bottom out... In theory then, if i realize to slow down in time, my fender liners might live longer...

You're describing conditions for a 20 mm spacer, 25 mm will rub much more easily. You should take a look into your front wheel well to find out what we're talking about.

i just did... and it looks like a touch-and-go on whether the drop will be too much...

anyway, thanks for the advice, likely order a set and drop it to see how it goes.
