Just tuck it up as far as you can and make a bracket to hold it in place.

Keep in mind the main harness unplugs on the other side of the footwell...no need to cut and splice all the wires unless your tire truly did eat them for lunch...gl

search a thread started by me. i posted picks of a basic description of what to take apart to relocate the harness. you dont have to cut a single wire. you remove the fuse box in the driver's kick panel and unplug the chassis harness. after that you can pull it out from the wheel well and have it go over the strut tower back into the wheel well and out of the way of the wheel.

if you have anymore questions PM me.

Glad to hear you have your priorities right lol it's pretty easy. I had a problem using zipties cuz my wires would rub through them, I ended up using a metal L bracket to hold it up, now when I corner really hard, the metal rubs on my tire, which isn't so good, but it's only under REALLY hard cornering.

Yeah I had the same problem. Tucking it up there did not work for me since I was going real low with a real low offset. The tire just ended up chewing through the zip ties. So I just followed the harness to the driver side fuse panel, unplugged everything in that end, and ran that whole harness through the engine bay and came out the big hole near the brake booster and through the fender and back through the driver side fuse panel.

How low are you planning to go? Please be sure to post some pics!

as low as i can, since i will be angling like a mother****** and i got coilovers, i'll probably b getting stuck. but its cool. i love being low, especially when u sit down in the drivers seat and the ground is just a few inches from u, i feel like one with the road lol

dam peter, when did u get a lip dude? as for tires, my dad's buddy owns a tire place, i get hook ups...sure they are mix matched but when you constantly have fun in ur car it doesnt matter at all. when we having another meet? need to show u guys how lower im going lol


and btw, i relocated my harness today =D it was a bi*** to unplug from the kick panel since it had never been touched, afterwards i ran it through the brake booster and back in through the floor board, taped up some exposed wires and then coverd the harness in a hose for protection.
