alrite everyone, i'm sure someone on here will be able to tell me, i have some FK springs and shocks on the way to lower my corsa b 60/40 thats 60mm at the front and 40mm at the back btw... anyway at the moment its on 16" alloys with an offset of et45 (195/45/16) the only thing im interested in is will it need arch work? either majorly as in rolling the arches or maybe jus unbolting the plastic guards and tiger sealing them .etc down??? another point is i have quite a bit of ice in the boot so its weighed down more at the back, i'd say it goes about an inch or maybe a little more or less because of it (just to bare that in mind)

any help anyone can give is great - thanks

p.s. also if it does need arch work such as rolling how much is this likely to be?

Mine was fine, but Mark's got problems with his, so you'll have to just wait and see

i found last night that my car was rubbing at the back with one in the back, so i had a look today ith my old man and it was rubbing on the metal lip behind the arch, so this is now flat and should be fine just have to try it
