Thanks, Painting the calipers was fairly simple. I just picked up one of the Dupli-Color Brake Caliper Paint kits from my local auto store, which comes with caliper cleaner and paint. Washed the car, wheels and brake area well first, then removed wheels and used Caliper cleaner acouple times each side to ensure they were clean. Just sprayed generously and wiped down a few times each side. After that I painted each side 2 coats with a Nylon Brissle Paint Brush, I got acouple different sizes so I could get a clean paint job. I prefer this method over the spray cause it can be done with less prep work and no disassembly.MrHatchWagon wrote:Very nice with the drop, and I just noticed your calipers are painted. How big a job was it getting them cleaned and prepped for painting? That's on my to-do list for the near future, keep up the good work!
I ended up picking up some springs made by AG Suspension from a vendor at a Car Show. They are rated for a 2" Drop but I ended up getting about 3" because they are a softer spring, but thats definitely ok with me cause I like em' low!! I paired the springs up in the front with KYB GR-2 Struts, since stocks had seen much better days. Backs are on stock shocks.Doug14 wrote:Looks great lowered, what springs did you use? I might go for the brush as well when if i do my calipers, good call!
Thanks alot man, I was definitely surprised and pleased with the drop I got! Snow would be interesting with it sitting like it is now but luckily we dont get to much here..Doug14 wrote:3"! Wow, looks so nice. Good find, let me know how they ride and how they hold up, I have long winters with deep snow where I'm from so I wouldn't be able to go that low.
