Need Advice

Well i installed my tanabe sustec five, and its awesome! But thats not the problem. You guys know that upfront there is this oval hole that covers most of the coilover. and my adjusting piece sits underneath it. Like this \/\/



So question is, Could i cut that oval piece that sits over it?? Im pretty sure that it wouldn't hurt if i did but i just want to make sure. My fingers are too big and strut bar is always in way, have to use both my hands and 2 fingers to barely move it. I do plan to get the indoor adjusting comp but not yet.
Thanks

I would recommend against doing so

Did you ask Tanabe if they make extensions? I can only assume that it's this short for the electric adjuster to fit on it.

Otherwise the strut bar is easy to remove and install; four 10mm nuts and it's off ...

What are you doing on the rear shocks?

I havent but its a pain doing this everytime, and even with it removed it only makes it a slightly easier job. But i will c what they have. Rear comes up pretty far up so its way easier, i will get a picture and post it later.
