   Hey guys!
   
   Just wondering if it's worth hardening the suspension? To stop the tyres scraping the wheel arch
   Is it difficult to do?
   
   Thanks!

   some saxos were fitted with 15's standard so that wont make it rubb, they rub when lowered, maybe your socks fooked or springs snapped? or u have silly big tries on?

   Then you will need stiffer torsion bars, rolled out arches or lighter friends.
   Check your rear bumpstops have not corroded off.

   And make sure you havent fitted 195/45 r 15 tyres. It does the same in my mates 106 with 306 gti wheels on.

    ill bet the wheels are the wrong offset and tyres are too big. both saxos ive had have been silly low and ive never had any rubbing with vtr or vts rims even with a full car
