So im gettin ready to install my coilovers.

ive heard its recommended to re-locate the wires, and push them up to the side...ok easy.

now after fininshing that i was lookin at the wheel well. On the top, theres a thin piece of metal that angles down. if you bottomed out wouldnt this hit ur tire? if that happened itd definately blow out. so what should i do? cut it?

should i not even worry bout the wires/metal?thanks

sure does, lol.

I let my frekkin cousin borrow some of my old wheels and tires once on his old s13 after we installed coilovers on his car... and he didn't bang that metal thing flat. Needless to say, I had cuts and chunks ripped off my tires when he gave them back

Nissan SilviaThe Nissan Silvia CSP311 made its public debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in September 1964. The introductory model was a hand-built coupe based on the Fairlady convertible, styled with input from Count Albrecht Goertz. Production ceased in 1968 after a mere 554 were made, every one unique with hand-formed body panels. Most of the cars remained in Japan, however 49 examples were exported to Australia and another 10 went to other countries. The low production numbers and tedious method of construction assured each car was unique and valuable; this is reflected by the car's purchase price of almost twice as much as the next model in the manufacturer's lineup at the time. After production ceased in 1968, the name Silvia would not grace another Nissan until 1974.
