Rear Drop Coils....
 
Im lookin to buy 4" drop coils for the rear, can you order them in your choice of color? I want new ones but i need them yellow, I was thinking of gettin some used ones and painting them myself. does anyone have any?

I agree. You could try that brake caliper paint. It's pretty tuff stuff!

I would buy new coils from ECE and coat them yourself.

You can't cut rears due to the way they attach.

If you want a 4" drop, and have 3" drop springs already, another option is to get 1" lowering blocks and new u-bolts. CPP has them. I did 4" springs and 1-1/2" blocks. Just another option to think about.

Are you talkin about leaf springs?

Re: Rear Drop Coils....
 
It doesnt matter what they are talking abou cuz the blocks go in between the axle and the control arm just like in leafs. You have order or make these custom cuz the ones that they sell for leafs wont work in coil suspension and vise versa.
