Don't suppose you have any pictures of the cutting and welding of the rear arches. I'm going to be fitting mine over the coming weeks and at the moment I'm going in blind as no one has any info of fitting arches to a 4 door and especially no one has any pictures

That's very helpful thanks. It's the bit around the rear door that's been bothering me as I need to take the metal back far enough to fit my wheels but I don't want it visible when the door is open. Also what wheel and tyre sizes are you running. Did ra Motorsport make the inner arch out of fibre glass?

That looks awesome !!

Got a few questions if you don't mind, as im having the abw arches fitted to my v5 sti wagon soon, along with BC or HSD coilovers

How low are the bc set and what hardness settings are they set at?
Is the rear arch that's cut away when door is open, exposed to rusting ?
How are you finding the ride with this wheel /suspension set up?
Do the rear BC's have top camber/pillowball plates ?
Is it optional for rear camber bolts or with these wheels, a must?

thanks in advance

Neil

[QUOTE=white noise;11594079]That looks awesome !!

Got a few questions if you don't mind, as im having the abw arches fitted to my v5 sti wagon soon, along with BC or HSD coilovers

How low are the bc set and what hardness settings are they set at? not to sure mate as was all set up properly but could do with going a bit lower.
Is the rear arch that's cut away when door is open, exposed to rusting ? it was all welded together then sealed with a rubber type coating.
How are you finding the ride with this wheel /suspension set up? haven't drove the car much since the work was done as its been of the road for winter.
Do the rear BC's have top camber/pillowball plates ? ye the bcs have camber plates on the front ones.
Is it optional for rear camber bolts or with these wheels, a must? ye you can run without the camber bolts but I fitted them so I could get a more aggressive geo setup.

hope that helps
