Just a quick question...

Anyone lowered on 195/45/15's? any arch work??

Fitting my springs and new ashocks tomorrow and wondered if i should grind the arches and if there is any particular care I should take when doing them.

Cheers

yep,i am, allthough they are fairly wide 15's. hardly any of the arch lips left, and it still rubs sometimes. :oops:

yeah, arch work would be advisable if i were u! tis what i was running on my blue mk3, and the scrubbed out pritty bad on the front! that could partly be due to standard shocks and uprated springs! :?

14's all the way!

Would 14's rub if I lowered 60 at the front?
