Anyway,

-Relocate your fender harnesses. Tuck it real high or do it the right way & go with a engine bay tuck
-If they are tucked higher, trim fender liner & tie them to the harness. It'll give you a cleaner OEM look.
-You will have to spend time with a big hammer to your under fender. Heating before hammering helps.
-If your coils bottom out, removing collars will be your last smart resort to going lower.
-I wouldn't attempt drifting in LX+'s but that's on you.
-Next time, please do some research before you make a thread.
is there a D.I.Y thread on how to relocate the fender harness? my search comes up with like 5 pages of threads. and why wouldnt you recomend drifting on LXs?

Remove your fender liner & look underneath, you should see a seam. That is a bitch to hammer flat & if you don't find a way to get rid of it say goodbye to any hopes of going low.

Remove fenders, pull harness up, find a way to tie it down. Simple.

LX+'s are more of a daily driving. If I'm not mistaken, they are valved real soft (intended for daily driving) & I have friends that had the fronts blow on them after some spirited driving. Not saying that yours are going to blow/they are crappy but you should have gone with GR+'s.

GR+ would have been a better choice for both spirited driving & daily driving. They aren't too stiff & they can take a beating.

That's all you need. Your tire can't possibly go higher than the wheel well.
