	wat et are ur rims then?? try pulling the arch a little

	its hitting the metal as well. went to autotechnique and Gary had a good look at it. would have been possible on et45

	unbolt the rear arch and remove the mudflap and seeif its hitting metal. its prob jsut rubbing against the arch bolts and the mudflap.

	the springs are jamex and should lower by 40mm but the guy at the garage says its definately something like 55mm. not sure what to do at the moment. changed the rear to 30mm last night and left the front 40mm shall i just keep it 40mm front & 30mm rear. or get some archwork and slam it to this 55mm. how much for arch work tho

	wasn't claning it, was trying to remove the side rub-strips and it was hard as anything, got blisters on the fingers i cant drive it tho. its rubbing like fu*k probably rip off the fuel pipes. so going to change the rear back to the 30mm springs and leave the front 40mm

	looks a lot better lowered more tho :thumbs: seen you out cleaning it last night :cool:

	well thought i'd drop my car a little further today by just 10mm to make it 40mm. however this went lower than i had thought and couldnt move the car an inch. now need to change it back before after i cant stop swearing. i'm loosing the plot [Edited on 21-03-2005 by zee24]
