Husky Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I'm going to need to get my arches rolled when the cars lowered and i was wondering how much it costs I'm not going to do it myself as i dont want to damage the paint. Can any bodyshop do it? Quote
buster Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 slightly cheaper way lol.. or you could try this company....highly recommended http://www.archenemy.co.uk/tech.htm/ Quote
Husky Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 cheers wont be taking a selection of hammers to it though archenemy looks good, was curious about flaring arches, may have to take a look for pictures of zeds with flared arches Quote
GT4 Zed Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Got mine done by archenemy last year they offer a mobile service and it cost me £80 for the rears. It is the same tool and process as the vid and takes about 1-1.5hrs all inclusive. The paint should not crack if there is no underlying rust which is not uncommon in the arch lip area. i think mine came about due to damage from rubbing when i fitted the 295s first before rolling so avoid the same mistake. He pointed the rust to me before doing my driver side and the paint did peel and the rust is still progressing. The passanger side was rust free and the paint has remained fine. In anycase you will have to accept a waiver that even is all is done well you can still develope rsut or cracking of the paint later as a result of roling. It did not bother me because i got a quote for £55 to repair the arch and blend the paint http://www.archenemy.co.uk Call/email the nearest local service to yourself and allow at least a week to secure a date Quote
Husky Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 cheers bennet, interesting about the rust waiver. bit bad of them Quote
Husky Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 I'll be using arch enemy soon aswell you still want those 10mm spacers ian? im in two minds about taking the longer bolts out without the longer bolts the nuts manage 6 turns, with they are comfortably on now that i have the 3mm spacers in the front.

Ian Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Have you got 2 or 4 spacers? I'm still in 2 minds whether to go for a more agressive offset or not Quote
Husky Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 Have you got 2 or 4 spacers? I'm still in 2 minds whether to go for a more agressive offset or not come on, dont be a sissy, i just squeezed some more out of mine and more to go i reckon only the two. you think 6 turns is enough? Quote

Yeah but yours are only now the same offset as mine How much do you want for them? what brand are they? eibach ones dunno mate, to be fair they are still attached to the car as i dont know if the original bolts will be enough and if i decide to go any wider i may need them. oh ffs i dont know now!! may stick them on the rear after rolling?

Ian Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I think I could get away with just doing the fronts, rears look agressive enough especially once I lower it a bit more Quote

Husky Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 255/35/19 & 285/35/19, ET22 & lowered 25MM not far off mine then. i guess youve got 10 and 9 rims? hmm seems to be plenty room on mine once rolled mate, i dont see why not Quote
Ian Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 9.5 & 10.5 My rears are constsntly rubbing at the moment Fronts are rubbing a bit aswell. I want to lower it more & get the spacers on before I get my arches done to make sure they can roll them enough Quote
Husky Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 so mine being slightly bigger will rub too good thing im going to get it rolled at same time, i was trying to find a pic of one with flared? Quote
Husky Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 Surely someone on my350 has had them flared? im being blind Quote
