that was too low once they had settled.
you couldnt get your finger between the arch and the tyre, so lifted it slightly.

this was yesterday ay work.

you have to hit them at an angle, so when the lowest points of the car, on mine the sump and zorst back box, pass over the hump theres always one wheel touching it.

this is mine, its tubbed at the back, and the wheels rub on the top of the inner arches!! never mind speed bumps, this thing catches cats eyes, if you ever see me on the motor way you'll see me dart between them when i change lanes.

Digler I love your car. Thats some mega tuck. My clubbys lowered quite a bit. I'v got camber on the front so have tucked the wheels in to the arches. Need to fit my rear camber brackets so I can do the same. I catch on pretty much anything lol. Scraped on a canal bridge going to MITP last weekend lol.
