    at a guess, the rear beam spacers will give you a good idea how much wider you'll need

    What is your plan regarding the arches? Imagine Allessios are quite close to a rolled arch anyway so you planning extreme flare, custom arch lips or a wide arch kit?

    You, definately need the wide arch kit, plus you will have to cut all youre inner and outer arch away to give enough room for the rear wheels to move up and down so they dont slice through the tyres when the wider track goes on the car.
    .
    1.6 16v's are the way forward!

    Ok thanks for the advice, looks like it's going to be an expensive job by the sound of it

    Had a look today and looks like if I want to use the full kit its new arches all round, don't think I'll be doing it as the cost involved is just too much

    If anyone is interested in a swap for the whole kit let me know, all I want for it all is a rear disc beam with cables etc & the The equal length xe driveshafts with the correct short shaft (LMF one or similar) let me know if anyone's interested

    Nutter It's a wide track kit for wide arch Novas, how did you not realise it'd need big fat arches if the wheels stick out miles further!
