Few of my buddies already commented that it is very odd to design a car that does not allow the use of pupular or normal length TC springs. 3R really need to fix this problem real quick.

I've already pulled out a 3mm carbon fiber sheet last night and seriously considering fabricating taller shock towers to fix this problem.
No need for making new towers, the front can be fixed easy with a 3R tower for a 416, the holes are exactly 1mm too wide, a drill press or a stead hand with a dremel can make it fit.

The rear should be fine as is, with the use of thin retainers, and the 1mm down spring perches.
