The front consist of 2in drop spindles, and 1in cups for the airbags. The rear has a mild c-notch with bags. Rides awsome.

WOW

Can you take a closeup of the brakes through the rims? I like the matching color...did you use high heat clear or just a caliper paint that matched well?

Sorry for my ignorance...I googled it real quick, but the prospray came up as a std paint...is what you're using high temp? So you just mix it to match the code of your paint? Would that hold up better than a std bc/cc on an engine or is it overkill?

THe paint is standard but the clear is high temp. Had it on before, never had problems.
