Method was remove wheel, remove arch liner, dig out the compacted mud/leaves etc., thoroughly wash the underside of the arch with muc-off cleaner, and rinse off to ensure all mud was removed... dry. Wash/scrub the archliner inside and out and dry. Reft arch liner making sure it fits perfect(they fit quite poorly anyway!). Wash the wheel inside/out and refit... repeat at each corner...

I noticed a load of leaves in the front of my doors of my ED30.  I'm tempted to do this at the weekend.  I'd never thought about the rust possibilities.....

Did you do the rears also?

The collection of parts have started...

A delivery from AKS Tuning arrived today... :jumpmove: (Only ordered Tuesday and Alex had to order in, now that's service! :notworthy:)

-Vibratechnics Lower Subframe Mount
-Vibratechnics small dog-bone mount
-SuperPro front wishbone bushes



Decided to go without the SALK bush for now as only had S3 solid console bushes in at the end of 2011 when the clutch was done. Will replace as and when.

Also have the subframe bolt & Spacer kit to go on, but everything will go on when the coilover & ARB's are purchased...

A quick Microsoft paint to visualise what it will look like once lowered on all this kit...



Going with H&R anti-roll bars...

Cheers,

Dom

Just ordered my GAZ coilovers! :pomppomp:

Spec includes 350lb front springs(3" 40lb helper springs) and 300lbs rear, adjustable bump/rebound dampening, adjustable height, shortened damper rods, all TUV approved with 2 year warranty!  :happy2:

With these I'm fitting at the same time;

H&R Anti-roll bars front + rear( with Poly bushes)
New RS3/TT top mounts and bearings
SuperPro front wish bone bushes (already have s3 solid console bushes)
Vibratechnics large & small lower engine mounts
Subframe bolts/spacers...

Should improve the suspension a bit...  :signLOL:

The Continental Sport Contact 5's...

They were a good tyre... But thought if give these a try... Impressed so far and live the way they look with their huge rim protectors!
