Koop Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Love the steels and tuck, you seriously need to roll the arches though they're gonna scrub like mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 300lbs its alright could be better thoughToo stiff? Seems like it could be, considering the back of a Lupo weighs bugger all.When you're that low, you need stiff springs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Lupo Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Love the steels and tuck, you seriously need to roll the arches though they're gonna scrub like mad.Thanks And yeah i'm thinking I will only thing is though haven't really got money to get them rolled professionally and I dont know how to do myself haha Too stiff? Seems like it could be, considering the back of a Lupo weighs bugger all.When you're that low, you need stiff springs anyway.Yeah I guess they are will have to see how bad it is when its properly driven daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Cool, I'll have to try and do a bit more research into proper spring rates for a Lupo.Also, rolling your arches is pretty easy. You need a heat gun and a rubber mallet.Heat the area of arch you wanna fold up and tap it up with the mallet. Do a bit at a time and take it slow, with lots of heat and you'll have a rolled arches with un-cracked paintwork. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubmuffin Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 When I butchered mine on the back (before having it done properly) I cut small grooves perpendicular to the arch to make flaps, I found them much easier to roll on my own. If you have time, get some underseal and plop it on to stop any rusting in areas you can't see. May be worth running on your normal black steelies if your in a rush just incase it splatters on your shiny bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
