   Im lowered around 55-60mm on rear and i had to end the lip inside the arch round a bit to stop if rubbing, 5 min job though mate. Fronts should be fine mate

   What i did was remove the rear side strip and get some long nose pliers then bend it up. When its nearly bent all the way up use the pliers to squeeze it all the way up
