Rolling arches in London

Post Mon Jun 26, 2006 4:27 pm

Hey there!

Does anyone know where I can get my arches rolled in London, perferably NW... I've just put some 9J borbet As (with 225/40/16s)on the back and they make an unpleasant noise ;)

cheers!

no, 7.5s on the front luckily!

I've just been informed that I've got spax suspension which lowers it by 55/35mm .. Somebody has suggested raising it a little using spring pads.. Does this sound right?

thanks for replying!

A good mate of mine can do it for you. I can forward you his number and you can have a chat to him. He is in East London though?

I dont know how bad they are rubbing or where but sometimes you can just knock the lip up under the arch with a hammer carefully.

yeah, cheers, but I didnt want to go down that route. I definately dont trust my DIY skills. I think I might try and use spring pads, or bump stops???

Cheers fella, but im about 20 mins from crawley (other side of East Grinstead), so i'll give 'w17led' a bell first, thanks anyway though.

dont let them tell you its a big job because it isnt... im running 9j at the front and the dearest thing about the job is having the paint work done! thats if you remove too much of the arch

ive been quoted Ã‚£10 a corner but i have the paint left over from when i had my kit sprayed

cheers mate. I think I'm going to add some spring pads first, to try and raise it back up a bit, then see to rolling the arches back ina bit more.. they seemed to be pretty flush with the bodywork anyway, unfortunately!
