Stuey, I had the same problem, cuts some pretty serious groves in your discs! I just took as much of the rib off as I needed to, and make sure you take of metal around the front and back of the rib slightly so there is clearance when you turn. also sounds like strut/bump steer spacers might be another fix.
What do you think of the whiteline package? and what kind of spring rates are you using?
