So you pretty much want your guards rolled.
A lot of professionals do it with the hammer although if someone has a guard rolling tool it would be much easier. All it takes is patience and a bit of time. I did my rears myself but got someone to do the front. If you actually want to do it with a grinder and shit I'm more than happy to lend you my grinder.

it might not be THAT hard to do yourself, but its very daunting to me at least, and its something i would prefer a professional did.

dan

SO what rims did you get?

I run a 9" with no guard work... Depending on what you got, it might still be doable.

the offset his getting is pretty low +35 or +30 on a 9.5? cant remember now but mine is 9"+22 and shit flush with my guards

Boxerbeast had GTR rims and they were 18x9 +30 which were rubbing bad on his rears lol and swaped back to gmax

and also you cant roll the rear due to that extra lip which is only on the STI, the wrx are fine

put it on with the 225 tyres and smash in some camber then see how you go but I dont think you need to hack into the rears imo....given that it clears the front brembos KEK

wish I had 34 GTR guards

and these are the rims i got, they said it will clear the brembo's fine

Nice mate

Should look very good indeed!
