well not really lol im not keeping these coilovers or brake
booster or any hard lines sub frame is being pulled and redone
with all new tubular so everything that appears like it
shouldn't be painted is coming out. not to mention pics were
taken on a flip phone, come to test and tune its dope in person.
But its nasty fun.
