This week’s update. Spent a day cutting the last coil and disassembling the passenger side.

After sending back the OER tubular control arms, the CPP items arrived. So I bolted them up a couple days ago, and started reassembling the driver side.

I quickly discovered that the wheel weights were interfering with the lower control arm ball joint area and also the tie rod part of the lowering spindle.

Going to stick on weights is the obvious solution. Every shop so far have refused to do it- “they won’t stick”. I’ve talked to multiple people in the meantime that have done it without issue.
So- plan “A”, stick on weights, plan “B” is clearancing everything with an angle grinder with discretion and care.
When talking to a local shop, Heavy Metal Customs, the owner Paul chatted me up about the prior OER control arm issue. A nice guy and has a square himself. I forgot to grab a picture of his so I robbed one off his Facebook page. I’m going to see if he can do the wheel weights for me this week.

I ordered a set of wheel spacers in the meantime as a backup plan “C” but hoping not to use them.
Edit: much thanks and respect to
