Hello,
I've just lowered my GTE by 60mm which is great but the drivers side arch is rubbing on right hand bends?! i guess the rear beam has some play in it. The arches are cut back as far as possable and im running on 15in Dares -ET45. For sum reason the Rear Axle beam is offset to the drivers side, so my question is - is it possable to re-centre the rear beam? Would new bushes make any difference? i can't afford to change the alloys so i need a solution!

start with new bushes
you could shim the bushes to move the beam over or trim the hub face down (but watch for the wheel catching on the inner arch)

16v Nova - Toolkit comes as standard :)
