Chuck,
how thick are the spacers?
Are they 1 1/4" thick?  I have had someone tell me that a 1" spacer will
lower the rear much more than 1", but that makes absolutely no sense to
me.  Just checking.
Have you taken some hard turns yet?  Do the tires scrape on the fenders?
What tire size do you run?
Sorry for all the questions.

Ulix
