the grids will go on but you will ned to run stretched tyres and ideally roll the arches to get them under . coilovers is again another ideall mod so that you get the heights and looks right .
the forces you would also neet to run a stretch on the tyres and get the arches done .
they will fit on standard suspension but it will look odd

Where is the best place around Middlesex to get the arch work done before I buy the wheels, to stop all the chafing?
Think i would go the FORCE rout as that will be a 0.5 inch saving on the arch.

Sorry chap only just seen this post,
Yes Archenemy is the one I used, I heard only good feed back from people when asking around when I needed mine doing so gave Phil a call he came out next day talked me through what he was going to do (not that I didn't know) before he even touched the car, comes across as being someone who knows what he's doing and talking about!
Russ!

Well it's gone up a bit for 4 since I had mine done but I still think it's a bargain!
I was going to say they offer a group buy too.
I my be having to look at getting my backs flared as I've got the back just where I want it but still got the occasional rubbing if I take passengers and the odd drop down on speed bumps but I can't see how they flare without needing some paint and can't afford to get my quarter panels painted!!
All this gearbox malarkey really taking it out on my pocket!
Guv mate let me know when you get it done I'll pop down.

Short answer yes....I seen loads of cars on Nasioc will flared plastic arches, the plastice just flexes a bit, remember your not pull your arches that far out, STI arches are prity wide as they are and unless your going for something silly like 245+ then your going to have to worry about cracking, 225 on a strech should be ok.

WHO WANTS THEIR ARCHES DONE?
As per the conversation Russ has had with Phil at Arch Enemy(Cheers Mate), we should be able to get a discount for a group arch rolling session.
I have e-mailed him to see if he is available to do 3 cars on SATURDAY 11TH DEC at rear of Ruislip Tyre Service from about 9am
You need to PM me your E-mail address so I can send you the questionare sheet and paypal me £20 deposit (can be dropped to RTS) as Phil will charge a £40 call out if no one shows ( which I dont really want to pay).
Cut off for this is Wednesday 1st Dec, so let me know ASAP as he is going on holiday from the 15th and will not be back until the New Year
