**bpopham22** · 04-25-2010, 05:06 PM

ok so my stranos just came in and there nice and shiny and white, kinda throws my color scheme off cuz my car is red and im gonna have black c6s,red calipers,and zinz rotors, white doesnt really match. Has anyone every powdercoated them b4 or just painted them in general

No one is going to see them so why bother.

If he attends car shows, and uses mirrors to show off the undercarriage, like some of us do, you can see them then.

I would get them powdercoated.

Someone asked me once to look under my vette at a meet. I said go ahead i think I hit something going 200 mph once

well a friend of a friend might do it...i just have to see how much he'll charge me. They look nice and i like the fact they say strano but i wish he had color options, i dont do car shows but i still want it to look clean since my new rims and rotors are going to attract alot of attention

I've got an all red and black theme going and didn't bother with my Stranos. You can't see them while on the ground...and even in the air it's tougher to see. I also didn't want to subject my springs to 475 degree heat in an oven for an hour.

Check it:

wow thanks for the pics, yea good point about the high heat for an hr. Ok nevermind....gonna stick with the white color. Just curious...what kinda sway bar is that? and is that a stock 10 bolt?

**Sommer86@6LE** · 04-30-2010, 04:24 AM

My sway bar is stock. If you meant the red bar, that's the poly/rod panhard bar from UMI. My rearend is a stock 10 bolt, but with 3.73's. For peace of mind, I added the TA Diff. cover to "tighten up" everything.

**bpopham22** · 05-02-2010, 04:42 PM

yea i meant the sway bar...it looks to shiny and black to be original, but then again ur car might be in better shape than mine,ive got the umi double adj panhard bar myself,just havent got it installed yet

Dude, Sam's are powdercoated so bottomline powdercoating STEEL springs won't hurt the properties TRUE STORY!!!

I got mine powdercoated red.
