Steeda X2 ball joints with H&R SS springs

[TexasMach]

I'd like to know who has ran this combination and if the spacer rings that Steeda supplies are necessary. Steeda recommends running the spacer for cars dropped 1-1/4"+ for improved suspension geometry. If the difference is negligible I'd rather not run them and keep the extra .5" drop but I'd like opinions from people with experience before I proceed. I should also note that Im running no ISO's on the rear springs. Im slightly worried the rings spacers in the front will make the rear end look like its sagging.

I have that setup on my car. I chose to go without the spacers just to see what would happen. I haven't hardly driven my car as I need the transmission rebuilt, but it doesn't seem like I am rubbing too much. The spacers definitely will not make the rear end look like it is sagging, but I am running the isolators on my springs.
