But the back tyres are rubbing the arches and it sounds like a chicken lives in the bootSo I think the arches are gonna
have to be rolled or griund off Anyone else had this done

mouse, this link has a link to some piccies of how the arches are rolled. thats probably the best way to do it, but with my car the rubbing was only on the first couple of mm of the arch. if you can see where its rubbing you can gently knock the arch round with a plastic hammer. you must heat up the paint or it will crack. thats the difficult bit.

If the car is that low it is in a very dangerous condition. Suspension travel is there to maintain road/tyre contact and your car will be airbourne upon hitting the slightest bump. Not something that you would want to experience when going around a fast left hand corner.

I've tried telling Mouse that he shouldn't go that low, but he won't listen
