cutting out hole for the control arm safe?

[JDMAlex]

well , my upper control arms are preventing my car from dropping any lower . can i just cut a hole in the fender wheel wel(spelling) ..... i seen it done before but is that a good idea?

so your a-arms are sitting up against the fender well? i had a small problem with them randomly hitting if i went over a big bump. but under normal driving they never touched. im assuming you have a camber kit.. i say you get better shocks so they dont dip down as much... that way you dont smack the arms. im dropped with +3deg. camber kit, and i dont kit at all.

if you cut your strut tower braces out, which many people do, please get a strut bar.. and a strong one at that. those braces are a good portion of the car support and you can actually bend your frame by having those cut out.
