You could just do what I did and take the entire thing apart, take it to a powder coater and have them chemical strip it then coat it. It was cheap and looks amazing.
Hell yeah! Thanks man.. have something in the works which I am holding off on revealing for now, which is why I needed another order of these.And we escaped CA about three months ago and have been so happy in CO hahaha!
So in my line of work, corrosion and rust are placed in different tables even though they are similar in nature. Like someone mentioned earlier, dissimilar metal corrosion will cause severe corrosion but not pitting or scoring all the time.. it...

No they're not cheap. You get what you pay for.
So I myself have went through the tedious process of restoring the bottom/front/rear and wheel wells on my GSX, and it is extremely time consuming and expensive. There is absolutely no way you are going to be acid dipping the frame and this is...
Hold up...you want to completely disassemble the car and completely dip it?
I'm sorry.....I'm not a politically correct kind of person but you're asking if wheels fit but you're planning this level of project? That is hundreds and hundreds of...
Again, I am not super familiar with troubleshooting suspension, but the first video to me REALLY looks like a shot bearing since it wobbles up and down and sometimes wobbling without the tie rod even moving. Noticed in the second video it might...
