Default Strano springs finally on.... All 4 of them.

Spent the weekend putting the Strano front springs on and doing a little clean up.

A 'little' clean-up? That looks immaculate! You're going to love the way it rides with the Stranos & Konis.

Looks great. I've been working on installing mine today, but the passenger front upper shock mount is fused to the shock.

We had great weather to work on the cars today!! That is a pain in the ***, I made sure I coated the upper shock nut and surrounding area with marine grease when I put everything back together. I hope that I don`t have to screw with it for awhile, but if I do it should keep the rust away.

Looks very nice. I think some strano springs are in order for my car soon as well. What rotors are those?

Nothing fancy, I used flat black Rust-oleum and a small 1'' paint sponge for the spindle and the upper and lower control arms. I removed the sway bar and just did a good sanding job on it, silver primer and several coats of silver Machine Finish Rust-oleum spray paint. I did not feel like taping everything up to spray paint , so the small paint sponge was really easy to get into the small spots and still keep it looking neat. It took some time, but it allowed me to drink a few beers while the paint dried.

Thanks. They are Powerstop rotors, they appear to be good quality, time will tell.

I thought about painting the calipers, but I actually like the silver finish, and its easy to polish them up.
