also what and how did you guys dye your diff pulleys? and can i dye my rw spurs?
cheers
I'm pretty sure the sway bars are steel. Not 100% sure on that though. If you're going to make your own bars, be sure make them identical on both sides or it could tweak the car.
As far as the dyed pulleys, I used black Rit Dye. But in hind sight, I wouldn't do it again. You have to warm up the dye and put the plastic parts in it for it to take. I may have gotten them too hot while dying them, (I don't think I got it any hotter than you're supposed to
) but it seemed to warp the pulley a little. That diff always felt like it had a high spot. The same with any RW spur gears I did. Someone else may have a better way of doing it though.
