I had Hotchkis springs and they did not require camber arms ... they dropped me 1/2"-ish in the front and 3/4"-ish in the rear ... every car drops different though so ya never know

So I've decided to take off the plasti dip.
It's a biatch to do because the coating break off to million pieces...






these are to show you guys that the whole thing can be removed without damaging the paint underneath.

BUT, BUT, BUT...I prolly wont do this because it takes forever to remove this damn thing!!!
Maybe it's the paint coats that made it this way because I've removed plasti dip before, using only the plasti dip coating. And it was extremely easy back then.

anyway, it took me half an hour for just that little area so I gave up...

lol They did that last time and I sent in a long message like a resume.
I got nothing.

So I stop trying now, lol.


About the plasti dip, I heated it up but the paint didnt want to give in and I didnt want to damage my tires so I stopped.
I used the aircraft paint removal now. Granted that it'd also take away the clear coat on the wheels but I dont mind anymore.
So I am done with 1 wheels and have 3 more to go.
People walk by my job keep staring at the crazy wheels on my car nowadays, hahahahahahaha.
