I highly recommend you do it before you get an alighment.

I have a little dremel I can use after if I need to I'll just be using 30 cut off blades lol

I used an angle grinder and then cleaned it up with a flappy disc, turned out nice, then gave it a paint, you can hardly tell.

How much did you take off? Is it just that 3-4mm lip on the bucket?

 

[Munnerz]

Yeah just took the lip away basically

I think if you search PRG there's a thread of a guy who put them in his 550 and his mechanic took HEAPS off lol, more then me that's for sure

Have my new spc arms ordered also, just curious why trimming is still required. Arnt the new arms meant to fix that problem, or am I missing something ?

Nothing major...but the boot of the upper balljoint gets very close to the coil bucket...id rather chop the lip off the coil bucket that have a weird ball joint flog out..sometimes the grinder is not needed.you might get lucky...the spc instructions give you instructions on how to remove the lip

So after having a few issues with fitting the arms I got that sorted! Grinded the bucket back about 5mm more then I need but after talking to zordo I could have just bashed it in with a hammer! Ahh well it's done now.. My other issue is that I can't get the caster and camber down so I will have to change my lower control arm bushes with some offset ones to get more adjustment for the upper arms. So I will be looking into it now and see how hard it will be to change them out myself apparently the factory ones need to be either drilled out or use an oxy to cut them out so I'll keep people posted on the outcome in the next few weeks!

Oh and thanks to patrol customs in beenleigh that guided me in the right direction and helping me grind back and figure out what needed to be done!
