Paul,
In short, no you do not need to do either of those things. I ran the $20 rack spacer kit on my car for years, including about 100 track days and never really had an issue. As stated above, all the work you are already doing will make a massive difference in the feel of the car. For the street and Euroish height, you will be good without. Agree on rolling your fenders.
Since you asked, I'm currently running 22/30 torsions, custom valved Bilstein sports, RSR raised spindles w/ ER bump steer kit, smart racing ARBs, and a combination of elephant polybronze and spherical bushings. My car is an '88 and is lower than Euro height.
