We all know Coil Overs are not made for the j30. so i cannot replace those and cut my spring perch down. so i need to find a way to grind down the spring perch in a vital location to fit some big wheels. I am nervious this may make the spring perch weak, but it must be done. some people who have had 22s put on the j30 had their strut tower raised. im not sure how you would go about doing this. i guess cutting and welding, i do not see an easy way to raise just the spring perch or the strut tower below the spring perch to give it a little more clearence. i only need about 1/8th of an inch.

The J is a fairly heavy car. I wouldn't weaken anything, it'll affect drive dyanmics and safety.

On the other hand if you intend to use the J exclusively as a show car, go for it!
