shire350Z Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 had some on the car for about a year bought them of big phil great struts but rusted badly which i knew they would when i bought them (cheap enough) wondered if anyone had bought some from elsewhere which stood up to the bad weather better cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Mine are quite rusted, keep meaning to polish them up and coat them in Bilt Hamber autobalm to see if that helps. You could maybe try and get carbon ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 carbon know what your saying but from where???? ill try polish it out but dont think it will get rid of it fully!!! rather just get some better quality ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 As I say, nothing to lose. Not going to cost much and if it looks crap then replace! Coould do the ends of the body orange with the centre part carbon or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Didn't pay any import tax, but if you had to, it wouldn't be much. A fiver at the most. I seriously wouldn't hesitate getting another set. Comes with nice brackets and the bolts are flush fit, so no cutting of any plastic trim.
