    I've had mine beadblasted for years now,with just a protective coat,need to get them powdercoated,haven't had the money for new ball joints and wheel bearings yet. plus new dust shields. I've got them all disassembled and the wheel hubs are already powdercoated and ready for new studs.

    Looks good. I think I will do that before I upgrade to the SE-i brakes and big brake kit in the front.

    Re: painted hub/arm put in new ball joint

    i wonder if i has a bit more money if i'd do that kinda stuff when i get board? looks good. i'd like to get parts off another car to rebuild and clean up. then when i get other suspension parts i can install them.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™
