Hitting control arm?

I apologize in advance if this post has been made before, I tried to search but still didn't find an answer.

So my tl is on k sport air suspension, well when I air out (with V2 and 3/8" lines making it drop quick) there is a loud bang coming towards the front. Now I know that it's the upper control arm hitting the strut tower. I have been told to just cut the strut tower out, and it was also allow me to go much, much lower up front. Is this true? Thanks!

^tyler, you're a smart kid.

physically look where it's hitting. you'll know where because of point of impact will leave a big dent and paint will be messed up. check the strut tower.

Now, imagine the strut tower not being there, or holes that allow the control arm to pass through.

now, what do you think?
