^^ dw about that ..

umm more than likely it will scrape the Gaurds ... but, when they install the springs, ask them to mould out the gaurds ... they will use like a thermal heater (really hot) to soften up the guards and then they will bend them out with a rubber mullet ... we do that all the time at work with the cars that come into get lowered ... nothing hard, and will look good!

yeah good idea to get the front gaurds rolled as the tyre can catch them and pull them out.

it will also take chunks from your tyre and guards ... will also bend in/out ur guards ... just ask them when u go down ther if it will scrape ... and they will tell u, and then probably tell u that they will roll out ur guards anyway ... but just ask if they will just to be safe ... where are you going to get this done?

he isnt doesnt do suspension normally. just a local guy. he is charging me 600 - 700 dolloars to fit my lsd, transmission and suspension. he is usually more the machanical side. so if i get him to fit them and he doesnt roll the gaurds would i still be able to drive out slowly?

i have a serII au ute with pedders springs, i can't say how low they are, sorry, but i can say i have 8x18" wheels with 245/40/18 tyres and the arch sits down over the tyre by about an inch. i have no problems with the tyres rubbing anywhere, i have however ripped the centre section of my exhaust off.

You wont have any issues with it.. sheesh..
The only time you will catch a guard is if you turn the wheel full lock and go up a bump/driveway..
you might, on the rare occasion get a little scrub on a sharpish corner when you have people in the car, other then that you should be fine.
Guards rolling, about $30-35 a corner.
