My car ate through like 5 harness wires. I tucked it but there isnt enough slack to tuck all of it. So now Im just going to forget the headaches and unplug it and re-route it so that nothing touches the tire.
My Air Bag wire is chopped into two. I have a hunch that if I wire them back together my Air Bag light will remain on still. Also be careful with the hood release wire. I had bad experiences with that one. And its kind of a pain to replace.

As far as I know this problem was prevalent throughout all the years of SC production
OLT- Now I understand the basis on how suspensions should be set up and what you say is true. In the case of our SC’s how would you recommend, or better yet what setup would you recommend that would allow the car to be slammed and not eat through the fender cover. I have seen tons of trail rigs use the correct calculations and products to achieve more articulation and flex in certain spots with their suspension, but I cannot see any other way to get around the fact that if you lower these cars you will rub into that liner. If one were to extend their bump stop then you will just bottom out regularly, and now have a different problem to deal with.

I have the Gixxer_Drew Bilstein-hypercoil setup and I tried to go into the lowest possible setting for a day and it did not rub at all. I would scrape the bottom of the car going over speed bumps and all but when I went in to readjust my settings the fender lining was not touched at all. The lowest setting on this setup makes you sit on the bumpstop (very stiff ride) but at least it protects you from rubbing into the fender liner. Now I have it adjusted so that I have an inch of travel and a more comfy daily rider. A bit unrelated but just an fyi.

My car is so low I couldn't see that the wires were chewed through until I removed the tire... It would make a few of the air suspension guys jealous (a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point). Since relocating the harness, it hasn't rubbed once and I ran through Ortega Highway pretty friggen hard on Sunday. Kenny will vouch for me on that part. 
i think i'd rather have my ECU in the interior and my battery behind the headlights rather then battery next to the turbine and ecu behind the headlights.

It is right in the footwell of the drivers side which is by the brake pedal right to the left of that but you may have a little problem with the boot theat protects the harness...but still the process is very simple
