just installed my new megan racing coilover - great system btw.

I have it set on 10 clicks/14 clicks front rear (32 way adj).

I am rubbing in the front a little bit when I hit bumps and aggressive turning.

only about 1 finger between tire and the weather guard so i proceeded to take the whole weather guard off and the harness runs right over it. I tried playing around with it a bit to get it out of the way but no luck.

any suggestions on how to move it? i guess i can just raise the car a bit… or set it stiffer (10/14 is already pushing it on the street tho). thx

Relocate it to ontop of the fender support.

Remove the Fender and Ziptie it out of the way.

If you want to go low you will have to move the harness.

Remember though being low isn’t alway’s best.

You still want to be able to utilize full suspention travel…

I pulled the loom off the harness and re-wrapped it with electrical tape. I also pulled out some of the wiring that I wasn’t using to make the harness smaller. Then I moved it up and zip-tied it in place. You can slao hammer down the seam at the top of the fenderwell for another 1/2" of clearance.
