with a et of 40 you will have to mess around with the arches, iam lowered 60mm on 16s with an et of 45 and i had to de-bolt the back arches

Nope, i can feel something in my front arches, think there is 2 screw or something that might cause trouble on the front for some ppl.

no, very easy to do yourself, its the bolts that cause the most problems, so just take the bolts out and bond the arches back on

theres a hell of a lot of 'excess' bolt on the rears, use a dremel or small cutting derive of some sort to cut the bolt flush with the plastic nut top, before the last resort of bonding them on.
