Thought I'd post this since it's a common issue with slammed s13/14 cars. You know that pesky wire loom routed through the driver-side wheel well...the one the tire hits and wears the insulation out so you get popped fuses. Easy fix.

-Jack up front end and take the driver-side wheel off.
-Take fender off.
-Cut OEM zipties that hold loom in place.
-Make relief cuts to fender support lip and fold in with hammer (see 2nd pic).
-Gently pull loom to get as much slack as possible.
-Route loom as high as possible and secure with AN clamps or large zipties.
-Put fender back on, wheel blah blah.

Check out the relocated green relay box hidden in the fender beam/support hole.

Another reasond for this is to make room for maximum angle...

This write up has been posted many times already. It's good info nonetheless, just letting you know.
I do like the reinforced arms though. :)
