Si74. I would paint them in hamerite gloss black etc etc. at the end of the day they are not going to be seen really, so as long as you know they are coated well and will last that would all that matters to me.

Glenn. she handled very nicely but now i have the standard ones on i cant really tell the difference lol. I have front and rear struts so thats probably mainly helping out the handling anyway.

If i were you lol i would get rid of those konis. I will never get them now after seeing mine after such a short life span. If anything i will buy some GAZ coili'es again next time round. Wish i never sold my old ones now he he.
