TomR33 Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 thanks Aurora James can't do it for another month but he recommended Quick Fit - $80 a corner. Anyone else in Canberra?

Aurora Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I was reccomended to use James, and no regrets, he was great. Most tyre/wheel places will know a place, or be able to do it themselves. Ring around a bit, see what you can find. Sorry i can't be of more help.

timbar32 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Another thread on the forums said not to roll guards, as the paint will crack eventually. By the way, if I lower my car 50mm, will I have to roll the guards? I posted a thread in the suspension section, but no responses.

Aurora Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 All depends on the wheel size. I run 18x10 rear wheels on an R33 GTSt with 265/35 rubber, and i've got my coilovers wound....pretty much all the way down, there's still some more left, but i don't want to go lower. My tyres are tucked up inside the guards. My main issue was with the 9" wide fronts when on full lock coming up gutters. Sorted that out, by getting the guards rolled. ALl good now.

W1ngnut Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well, digging up an old thread but at least the search button works. I know guard rolling can be bad for cracking paint, but i'm sure cutting tyres with metal at 100km/h is worse... Has anyone else got any decent recommendations on a place to do it? I used QuickFit in Phillip on my subie and they didn't do the best job. Didn't even appear to heat up the guard first....

Bluprint Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Jax Quickfit in Fyshwick did my fronts (The old Strathfield Car Radio) and it was fine. I hear they're about $60 a corner these days.

Michele Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Jax Quickfit in Fyshwick did my fronts (The old Strathfield Car Radio) and it was fine. I hear they're about $60 a corner these days. Jax Quickfit did the GTST and it worked a treat, paints fine and it allowed me the wider tyres to fit legally within the guards now. I didn't have a choice, I had a race the next day and wouldn't have passed scrutineering with my new tyres. Race or not race?? Easy choice and it was a success.

W1ngnut Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Cheers for the replies guys, again much appreciated. I'm starting to really like Jax QuickFit in Fyshwick. Will give them a bell monday and see what they can do. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/44662-guard-rolling/#findComment-3721384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
