Thanks for the love guys.
Another random update. I had my stocks and went over some random bump which slightly pushed my front right wheel up. All of a sudden my ABS light turns on. I check it the next day and the ABS line (pink wire) tore off the harness. I guess the tire pushed up and ripped it off. *sigh* All of this random stuff breaking is ____ing me off. I only lowered my car a 1/2 inch.

ive done that exact same stuff... it sucks..
and as for my abs line i just rewired it with a longer wire and hid it higher lol

As for the abs line I also remember when I installed my ksport coilovers I had left the abs line too close to the wheel and it ate right through it and my abs light came on. So what I did was just patched it up with electric tape and the light went off.
#126
same here. no abs light but electrical tape for sureee

Update.
ABS light fixed. I got a wire stripper, stripped the wires and shoved them back into the harness. Then I ziptied that sucker up, drove it around for a bit and the light turned off.
I bought the replacement boot kit at the dealer for 45 bucks, now I just have to get around to putting it in.

Yeah I wasn't really trippin about the ABS especially since I've never come across any circumstances where it's kicked in. I am worried about the cv boot though, don't want it to cause any more damage else where.
I'm guessing I'm going to need another alignment after I replace the boot since I have to removed the whole axle from the transmission to replace it, and the axle is attached to the lower strut mounts?
In the meantime, I'm trying to straight trade my 8mm spacers for some 5mm so I can throw those in front. Just have to find someone in SD to trade cause I don't wanna throw another 20 bucks down for spacers.

In the front I'm not running anymore spacers cause it was stupid rubbing. I'm hoping the 5mm will give me the poke I want while avoiding the crazy rubbing from the 8mm.
And for the boot/axle work, my friend's cousin is helping me, he has the tools and stuff to do it so it shouldn't be too bad.

oh you want 5mm for the front..I thought you were gonna remove your 8 from th rear. Thats good that your boy is gonna help you put in werke....save you some cash. Good luck hopefully it is not that hard. I hope that does not happen to me..I doubt it cause I am nowhere near as low as you.

Well I mean, I'm sure ride height is a factor, but just be careful going over those steep speed bumps! Haha

Yeah.. I've heard some pretty bad noises from rubbing and scraping, but nothing compared to what sounded like my car dropping on the floor. I thought I hit my tranny or oil pan or something, I didn't think I was that low.
What sucks is my friend warned me about dropping my car some more. He kept telling me I was gonna break something and I said nah man I'm only dropping it 1/2 inch. Little did I know! Torn cv boot and ripped abs wire! I deserved it haha.

haha...dam dropping it that much made a huge difference...crazy! You live and you learn and I bet you would prolly do it again..lol. I would be worried about my oil pan if I were you..that happened to o8tc

Yeah my friends with 240s have gone through a couple of oil pans, but they're WAYY lower. They just tell me what roads to avoid. I have noticed a tiny baby scratch on my oil pan but no dents. I don't think I'm low enough to scrape it anywhere anyway. I could have just scratched it with a tool or something while I was installing something down there.
