give £50 for eclipse to do them was gonna be a bit less but they had to remove the rear seats and loosen off the rear struts so the hub would go low enough for the roller to hit the arch!
it was this high
now its this low!
i wanna go a touch l___ower but need to get the front arches sorted!

thing is though your wheels look pretty sweet as well! get them powder coated black or anthracite and it will looks even better.

will do mate cheers......was going to ask u do i need coilovers for them to fit? or is it a matter of arches rolled and the camber set with the tyre stretched?.....hoping they fit with just the arches done and the camber set.....coils are not an option

With your set You should get away with just the rear arches being rolled.
