i have just had my furio lowered- springs at front and rear torsion bar at back. standard dampers. my wheels at the back keep rubbing on the arches when i go over any bumps in the road. Is there anything i can do to stop this? please help it is really fucking me off. ad

How much u had it lowered by?? And wot wheels u got on??

saxmad_ad · 17th February 2004, 21:05

16 inch wheels-195 45 tyres. its been lowered by 40 i think.

at the rear you will need to modify the rear bumper bracket

i just cut the fucker off and melted the archliners into place and then silicone sealed them, im down 50mm on 195/45 16s and i can take a full car and get no rubbing.

you could probably get away with taking the rear arch liner out and hammering the bracket down a bit then cutting the corner section off the arch liner

yep your spot on deano but if he has good 195/45 tyres then he might as well save the cash and do the modding but either way is fine
