Cheers for that Chris, appreciate the advice. I'll add it to the 'to do' list!

No Worries dude. Everyone is here to help.

I have totally ground back arches and arch trims  at the back end of my golf. I'm sure others will recomend rolling the metal, either way works. Just need to protect all edges if you grind back.

Most of the cantact will occur towards the rear of the arch a couple of inches up from the  rear bumper.

I really don't think just changing the suspension will stop rubbing as your rims will be at least 7" wide, stock were only 5.5" or 6".

Projekt Frustration :

 White 1991 Clipper. Lowered over polished zender rims, Single 40 dellorto on lynx manifold, kent cam, full stainless 'zorst / manifold, powerflex bushed and braced. Not the fastest car, but sounds super nice!

Still going after 12 years… never said it was a quick fix! Time is not my friend.

That'd be great if you don't mind. I barely know one end of a spanner form another… but I'm learning fast!
Enjoy the sun!

Nice ride!! And low too. So no arch rubbing with passengers in the back?
