Gaz6002 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Has anyone used Arch Enemy for work? I'm considering letting them loose on my arches as my R888s are rubbing at the back. They are a mobile service and their prices seem very reasonable. If i'm to be the MKIV Supra guinea pig then i'll let ya'll know what the score is. Also, which method do people think would be better - rolling the arches or flaring them? Pics can be found in my garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Doom Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 yeah he done mine and done a really good job;) Did they roll them or shave them gaz? I've heard that you can lose some of the arch shape when rolling them as the material is quite thick.. did they fold them all of the way up?

paul2supra Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yeah, make sure you take decent before and after shots - very interested in this service (hadn't even heard of it before) as my rears are rubbing quite badly Ah, just noticed that they don't come out to the wilds of Wiltshire! Let us know the results anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibbleyuk Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 looks great im going to get them to flare my swift before it gets painted also may have them roll the archs on the front of the supra group buy for discount anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Quail Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Sure. Very very subtle roll and flare considering how much extra room I've got. I only had the rears done. Now running 17x9 et-3 on the rear with 225/45 tyres, with loads of room to go lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibbleyuk Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 that looks really nice! great work by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 he did mine about a year ago. Good job and no cracking of the paint. He took them all the way over. You get a slight 50p edge to the arch due to the welds inside but you don't notice unless you really look closely. Bothered me at first but only because I'm so particular about the supe.
