    Finalmix finally dropped!

    I had my lowering springs and performance gas-filled shock absorbers installed this morning, and then had an alignment done ASAP at the toyo dealer. Both the shocks and springs were by Dropzone. Yes I know most of you said they were a bad ride and quality, but they did drastic changes to their products the past year and they really are NEW and IMPROVED. The ride is smooth and feels great. Anyways the official Dropzone warehouse and owner is 5 minutes away from my house, and I have a lifetime warranty on my products!

    i've got no problem with painting the drum. some call it ricing but IMO it looks waay better than the crappy colors it becomes later on in life.

    Looks good man a lot better with the drop, but I gotta agree with Phozenstone why red why not black if you wanna get rid of that rusty look.

    just leave it the way it was or paint it black, that red looks hideous, unless you try and persuade people that those are stock brembos and you did a rear-drum conversion haha

    I painted my rear drums and front calipers with 1200 degree heat resistant paint because they had that rusty/used look to them. I did originally think about painting them black or indigo ink, but the red matched my theme going on that I have so far. (Red TRD CAI, Red TRD sway bars, Red lowring springs, and Red accents on the TRD emblems on the front and rear of my car, Red TRD shoulder pads on seatbelts.) I didn't paint them to show off anything at all, just to make them look cleaner with the contrast of the rim.
