I've been having a clearance issue between the inner sidewall of my new tires and the lock rings on the Pedders, because I have them adjusted so damn low.

This is where it used to say G-force:

Also during medium aggressive turns the tread bottoms out causing the inner fender well seam to slice into the tread of the tires, and making a horrific scraping sound:

So I grounded down the sheet metal seam:

And I installed DDMWORKS spacers to clear the Pedders.

Now even closer to flush:

Winning.!

Update:

I'm still getting some scraping during hard cornering. It's not as bad now, but is still unacceptable.

The problem is that if I grind more of the seam out, I'll grind away the factory spot welds. Notice that I've already grinded halfway through them:

What I'll have to do is grind the seams out entirely and then lay a bead with my MIG to fuse the the sheet metal back together. Modern cars use body panels to unify stiffness into the car.

Problem is that I won't have a day off for 2 more weeks. I'll surely post the results when I do.

gah, that sucks man. At least it should be a relatively simple fix once you get some time off.

And it'll mean I can drop another 1/4" in the front....... as long as I modify my driveway.

I wish google maps had a feature that would highlight streets that have speedbumps with black diamonds.

Your driveway wasn't friendly with stock ride height, better get some boards to keep in the back.

You should call it "GPSlamed"

 

[Preloader]

How about "Google LowGo"?

 

[Eric Smit]

I took out the rear seats in preparation for the qtr mile run in a couple weeks.

This puts the Preloader at 2592 lbs.

 

[Eric Smit]

touché sir. touché.

I'll take out the passenger seat a little closer to the event. That should get it down another 30-40 pounds.
