Yeah very easy to fit rears...
1 jack rear up both sides.
2 remove rear wheels.
3 undo top nuts that hold dampers to bodywork (inside the boot)
4 compress strut by hand and slide off the old ones/slide on the new ones.


Or if you a fancy a quick trip to Nottingham i'll do it for you for a couple of quid.

I have some rear ones for sale off my old setup... I have VGC standard GM ones or Custom Uprated Powerflex ones suited to a standard - 50mm drop which would be MOST suitable in your case. U2U me for details...

Aren't TSW maximum offset ET 40 in 15's? Even so, they shouldn't rub with standard suspension, mine didn't.

I ran et42 6.5" wide lowered 60mm and had bags of clearance... are you running 195/45 tyres and are the alloys less than 7" wide? You should be fine matey, should only be minimal arch work if they do catch anyhow...
