Rolling arches

[amazak 3]

Is there anyone in the london area that can roll my rear arches? The wheels are catching alot and it is starting to grate on my nerves! Alternatively is there any cheap solutions to rasing the suspension a wee bit without replacing the springs?

Thanks....

Dont know any place in london to get arches rolled ,but i think you can buuy spring inserts that stiffen springs and reduce amount of travel in them .Dont have a link yet ,but i`m on the case.

Will give him a call tomorrow, but I thought rolling is better than cutting :^) What are the benefits of cutting?

vr6virgin, thanks for the input pal, that does look good as well

I take it you still have the TT Comps fitted mate. If it's just the rears that are catching it might not be the arches themselves. The part of the bumper that meets the top of the arch, closest to the tyre used to rub on mine when I had the TT Comps fitted. All four arches were rolled but the rears still rubbed when I had weight in the back. If you get a couple of mates to get in the back you should see exactly where I mean. Not a defiante but you might just get away with having that inner lip of the bumper removed and save yourself the hassle. Worth a try. Also depends on whether you're planning on going for wheels with a different offset in the future.

never cut the rear arches!! they are double skinned and are part of the structure on the mk3.
