17" Wheels and Arch Work

[S9_DAN]

Hello, I have got a saxo VTR with the standard bodykit on it, when i brought it the front was already lowered but i dont no by how much my guess would be 50mm. I have put 17" alloys on now and i have done some arch work on the front and on rubbs when i through it round islands, i am struggling with the rear arches has anyone got any sugestions on what arch work needs to be done and how low i can drop the rear without much rubbing when i have people in the back ????????

Get the Haynes Max Power Saxo Mod Manual, It tells you how to do your arches PROPERLY, I used it to do mine and i don't get any scrubbing!

Is this easy to do myself? i do know all the basics? how much have you lowered yours by? is it a lot of work?

Do a quick search mate. Theres been alot of threads about this recently. From what alot of people have said, yes this is definitely something you can do yourself.

Cheers for that i will probably have a go at it over the weekend if the weather is anygood. Then i will just need to adjust the tausion bar

It depends how much you lower the back. The lower you go, the more work the arches will need. Dont forget that the PAS pipe is located in the rear drivers side arch.

Also, you will probably need to modify the bumper brackets.

Get a maxpower haynes manual like dave J said and have a go!!!
