haha oh great - which fender has the harness? Drivers side? Do I need to remove the fender or can I just drop the fender liner and tuck it up?



current height - I've been waiting for some free time to go much lower

OwenM - 2 Things. 1. You have one of my new favourite SC's. I love how simple yet clean that looks and 2. There are lots of threads on how to relocate the body harness in the driver side fender well but for ease and because I like your SC, here you go:

Anything that you ever see anyone talk about, type it in Google, you'll be a knowledgeable master of your SC when you're done

The main harness runs in the driver side wheel well, it can be unplugged from the footwell and then you'd reroute it through the engine bay. Don't waste time trying to zip tie it higher. The passenger side has a harness for the airbag. If you are rubbing through the liner then you are hitting the casing for the harness as well.

If any of you are still having this problem I'll let you know what I did:

I basically took an adjustable wrench and bent it down until I couldn't anymore, then I hammered it down some more. It seems fine now, but I did that without taking the fenders off. So they could be flatter if you want.

^ Or you can get an angle grinder and grind it down flat with everything else, if your rubbing the second layer wheel well thing in the front to the right of the flap( the rectangle looking thing) you can actually cut the whole thing out, then grind all the edges flat, make sure it isn't sharp too or you'll cut your tires up. You get like around 1inch more clearance in there. I did this, and I have no clearance issues other than turning, my rims hitting the fender. I need FUCA's to add more camber up front. I need to take pictures of what I did!

Today marks the last day of my car being as low as it is currently (tucking front and rear) Took my car out to a meet about an hour away from my house, was less than a mile away on some terrible streets and ripped a 8 inch piece of my subframe out (second subframe), destroyed the rack (4th time), and cracked my oil pan. Thats all I can tell thats broken at the time before I can really get under it and figure it all out.

Once I get it back to my house, I'm putting it on jack stands and am going to start stacking suspension parts and the rest of the stuff I need for the Trans swap.
