You should get some brake caliper paint! It's fast and easy and looks better than that rust!

Well one of my boys rides on 20" and he's also riding on the same springs, he clears front & rear tires... And well I'm going to buy the SPC camber kit anyways, my boy has some slight uneven tire wear but trying to find 19" tires here in SA is a SOB, lol

Hell yea bro. We'll have to see what's up. I so want to hear ur exhaust, I'm going to spend majority of my IRS return on parts so I'm wanting to hear ART pipes before I spend that kind of $$ lol. But we'll have to meet up and throw a cruise or something...

You can purchase a kit by Duplicolor that allows you to paint on the caliper paint. As far as the middle of the rotor, you don't really have to tape it off since the first time you use your brake, it gets rid of the extra paint. I did try and tape off... but it was a waste of time and tape.

Nice drop! How many miles do you have your car/suspension? I'm curious how long the springs will last you.

well I just hit the 85K mile marker.. I bought the car in June with 72K.. When I was doing the spring install, the OEM shocks were still pretty stiff.. But if I have to replace the shocks on my baby I'm going to go ahead and buy some nice coilcovers!!

Car looks great. Coilovers are my favorite suspension mods.

I looked long and hard and decided on 25mm Front and Rear. It looked great with the Rays. I went with the Ichiba V2 spacers. Make sure you use that silver anti-seize stuff between your hub and spacer when you install.
