rst95eclipse · 05-25-2006

I want to have my entire suspension powdercoated black along with various brackets and such. I'm getting it done for dirt cheap. So far, I've taken off my front assembly. My question is, when you sent it off to be powdercoated, did you have all the control arms that had the rubber bushings in them (that a bolt slips through) powdercoated as well?? I'm wondering if the heat when they bake them will melt this material. I plan on an Energy Suspension bushing kit, however with the research that I've done; it doesn't look like they provide EVERY replacement piece, so if it melts I'm screwed.

If anyone knows more about what the process will do to my pieces, place post up to let me know. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
