my minty fresh set up
heres some pics of the bits ive had coated recently for my ground up build
the eg hatch shell was put on a spit frame, fully bareshelled, all stonechip removed, floor pan seam welded. all interior seam sealer removed and internal seams welded, custom cage built inc rear x bars and harness bar
heres just the suspension before coilovers and camber adjusters added
opinions on what to go for would be appreciated, must suit poor, bumpy, unlevel UK roads lol
heres the job lot layed out
the quality of the finish- minty fresh
then i installed all new "hard race" bushes throughout
then i installed new arp extendeds
and had every nut, bolt and washer on the car blasted and zinc plated
finally all installled and built up
all the suspension components were blasted, then powder coated satin black
heres what i got on there
jdm dc2 front arb
jdm dc2 rack
new track rod ends
new bottom ball joints
new front wheel bearings
new arp wheel studs
for the rear ive got F7 lcas, and an ASR wit 24mm arb kit

Re: my minty fresh set up
i did considder this before doing it. i live in the uk and the roads here are real shitty and always wet. i work as a technician by trade so work on all my own cars. as with most people, my pet hate is siezed and rusted bolts and components, so this seemed the easy and sensible thing to do while it was all off and being renewed. its just the coilover choice im unsure of, needs to be suitable for the poor uk roads but still decent enough to hit the track!

Re: my minty fresh set up
Im with you on the rusty bolts, I snapped all but like 3 or 4 on my buddies 99 si
However, im am guilty of painting suspension parts to, i painted my rear sway,lca's,subframe, and gas tank. Looked really good, untill i hit a puddle lol

Re: my minty fresh set up
My bolts, nuts, washers, brackets n all the hinges on my car were done in zinc. It cost me £80 so about $120.
I'd guess it's cheaper and easier than buying new. Also they will all be identical colours
