You are correct then. Then 10" was lip to lip. Backspacing i measured was 6" to the lip as well. still trying to uplouds.. Im not a techtard, but im not having any luck.

Hi Guys, I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but could anyone just help me out with how much its currently lowered. Stock height, any measurement to judge/compare by. I am grounding on everything and the answer i'd like go with is a little less drop. I may already be a min drop, in which case i might go stock, or a higher spring rate. A 1/2" and its clear. Like maybe they're cheap ebay springs and the drivers side has settled or worn. Thanks again for all the help.

Get a set of good coil overs, I know they might be pricey but worth there weight on gold, I got tired of dealing with Springs and went with MM Coil overs, best part is you can fine tune your stance and it also takes care of the rubbing issues.
