Default 66 coupe front end problems

the car is a 66 coupe, a couple years ago i put in a 351w with cast iron heads in it, i figured the stock springs were not up to the task so last winter i installed 620 coil springs up front with bilstein shocks, im running 15x6 rims with 225 60 15 bfg radial t/a in the front.

the problem im having is the car is to dam low in the front, i cant even take corners without the tires rubbing the front of the fenders, let alone pot holes, speed bumps and alaska roads in general

so what should i do to remedy the problem? should i order 620 coils for a 68 coupe with a 390? or just stock springs for a 67/68? at this point i dont really care where the ride height is or how hard it rides, aslong as it cures bottoming out and scraping my new tires.

im sure somebody else has had this complete headache for a problem, can some one help me find the aleve?
