So i picked this car up last march from VA beach area w/ the tein SS full coilovers already installed. I have no messed with the coilovers as far as the height goes at all.

Today i noticed that my driverside strut tower has cracked on the top.





I posted here for help with stopping this from going any further. I've been told i can drill 2 holes on the line(s) of the crack 1/8 bit & then reweld it shut to stop it from getting worse. Also possibility of welded a 1/4 piece of metal on the under side of the tower to help the 'blow' being caused.

Now the car is jacked up in this photo just enough to get the 15s mounted on the car (had my fenders rolled today.



What needs to be done to fix this issue from happening, as far as replacing suspension parts to be able to keep the car lowered as it has always been.

thanks.

 

You can just weld the cracks or cut a hole in the "shoulder" like I have seen done in the slammed section.

 

Yeah i've seen a few thread in the past but as always can't find them nowadays lol

 

UPDATE. seems to be just fine now. UCA balljoint was trashed completely Replaced with a MOOG UCA & balljoint & raised the car slightly to sit on top of the 15in 195/60 wheel/tire combo...
