The biggest thing is the rear lower control arm. As you lower the car and straighten the rear lower control arm it starts to creat a low point where the factory coilover mount is. This ended being my biggest hurdle. The barrell of the wheel comes so far in to the wheel well that the lower control arm actually ended up just sitting on the barrel of the wheel, obviously making the car un drivable. I ran in to clearance issues in other places but nothing like this. I tried grinding and grinding but the lower control arm just kept hitting and scrapping the wheel (I have a nice ring of missing powdercoat on the inside of both rear wheels).
What I ended up having to do was move the mounting point of the rear shock assembly further in to the center of the car. I then cut and sectioned the lower control arm to make room for the wheel. Then went back over it boxed in the opeing and welded extra support plats on the out side for added strength. My only concern is how the spring sits on the upper perch, but it hasnt provided and issues yet. I temporilaly ditched the rear sway bar till I can make or purchase new end links that clear my coilovers. Heres a few photos so you can get an idea of what I did and where it rubs. Keep in mind this was all done in one weekend to get ready for a 1500 mile round trip to ocean city for a car show. I drover the car the whole way there and back no issues, with lots of fun aggressive driving through the mountains.
Intial mock up to make sure every thing clears. that other hole raised the car to much and I couldnt get it to go low enough.
Unpainted so you can see the final product.
this is the side that rubbed the most (passanger side), i was initially concerned about it rubbing on the fuel filler kneck but no problems there
A little alignment wear lol (about 3/32's on the out side and well none on the inside edge) I ran the car at about negative 2 degress of camber. My alignment tech was able to get the toe back in spec too.
