I spray mine with tire cleaner at the car wash and spray what I can but not into painting or sandblasting. I dont have enough time for that.

its either a way diffrent setup than mine but judging on the spring and how low those screws are for the coilovers this thing must be slammed!

- Koni adjustable coilovers -60mm
- SiR sway bars front+rear
- ITR 5-lug conversion
- ITR brake calliper front + rear
- Ferodo DS Performance pads with OEM disks front 280mm / rear 260mm
- Goodridge stainless brakelines
- Energy Suspension polyurethane master bushing set

The pic was taken when it was fresh assembled now it's a little bit dirtyer! It just needs a blast with the pressure washer and it looks like new :D :hehe:

@93cxhb
1. I hope you cange the vent+brakeline contact if not -fail-!
2. please do yourself a favor and put those security splints back in!
3. The damper is not sitting in its corect position!

For shock advice, try some yellow Koni or Bilstein B8 they are great!:thumb:

Did you sand blast the painted suspension parts befor painting? If not, there is a big chance that the paint will come of some day.
I blasted mine and put a 2 component paint on it that is normaly used brake calipers

- Sat Nov 07, 2009 5:30 am #155272 yeah ... every thing was sand blasted and cleaned over again .. i used to paint for a living so i dont short cut when it comes to painting..
its was only put together long enough for me to take a pic so as for the dampner posistion & security splints who cares .. :lol:


@eg64dr yes my car sits very low but it wasnt driven very often and still wont be so im not really concerned about it but i love the way it sits & rides plus the area i live in is pretty "low car friendly''.. :thumb:
