Thanks,

I can't believe the difference it made to the look

Damn good price on your springs I paid about US $10 for the set of 4 springs for my wife's car. I have yet to do mine. (Bought parts need to do the mod)

The wheels are shit-hot great job makes me want to get a fire under my ass and get mine finished.

My plan is to Matte Black powder coat first and use plasti-dip for accent color similar to your idea but just around the rim for me.

I've just been back into work and swapped the 2 springs out for some slightly stronger ones and it now opens more like yours:



It seem so much smoother
