    I'd use a Bilt Hamber clay bar if I were you. Worth it's weight in gold.

might be a stupid question but if i convert from 12/6 wheels to 10/6 wheels should i expect a bigger arch gap or a drop in ride height? or would all off this just be effected by what tyres i get? thanks

    wouldnt make a lot of differance to arch gap or ride height as the tyre sidewalls are bigger on 10s

    Rolling radius is similar, arch gap will depend of the offset of the wheels used

when you buy 7.5 brake disc conversion kits dose most off it come pre-assembled ? feeling lazy on a Sunday and packing bearings and every thing sounds like effort! :)
