They are koni adjustable shocks, king progressive springs, and the platforms are put together by the local koni agent. There's nothing really off the shelf here because if the Rx-3's age so we just v get them made up. Will run castor blocks and Roll centre adjustment spacers with camber adjustable tops, JFZ calipers and wilwood discs

Mean bro! I reckon gun metal like you said, or a dark charcoal sort of colour would be sweet as for the inside/cage

I reckon gun metal should be good, not too dark for practical reasons and looks sharp
