Are the springs actually copper or copper plated? I was under the impression it was just a copper colored finish.

The best way to clean those copper coloured springs is with steal wool the kind that looks like the stuff you scrub dishes with and you just fold it around the spring and turn the spring inside it if that makes sense? Anyway they will be shiny in about 20 seconds

That's a great tip! My buddy is going to copper plate a couple sets for me.

We’ll all be damned. Was so worried about the finish being too thin. Should have known from all my time car detailing!

Looks great Mike.
I keep looking at the pics and can't quite figure out what those extra pair of turn buckles attached to the front c-hubs do. Is this a factory setup or an aftermarket go-fast part?

Doug,
those extra links are installed as a factory upgrade. when the car was first designed and tested, they noticed quite a bit of flex in the c-hub and front arms. So they added the extra brace and link to improve the front end stiffness.
later models have improved materials and design to prevent the flexing.

So the normal camber links combined with those added turnbuckles form a kind of upper A-arm.
Interesting solution!
Thanks Joe.

Should have some rebuild updates on this one soon. I'm just waiting to get my stock arms back from my buddy who is machining some nylon arms for a runner build.
