Just got RSX JIC Magic FLT-A2 Suspension!

Hey everyone, I just got a full JIC Magic FLT-A2 Suspension, for $800!

I have a few questions...the shock has some rust on it...how can I remove this?

Is there any kind of material I can clean them up with?

I think that's it...

I'd be very careful and use some super fine scotch-brite to clean them. Some industrial acetone will help too, but just use a little bit and wipe them clean. Then just lube them with a light oil or something afterwards. I wouldn't use silicone spray or some kind of grease because it'll just act like a dirt magnet.
I hope you got the extra parts you're gonna need to install the RSX ones, its not a straight bolt in. (you need tie rod ends, you're gonna have to do some trimming, etc... to get them in).

I'll be grabbing a set of EP3 JICS or the Tanabes (assuming they come out on time) next spring.

If you're asking if 800 bucks is cheap for JICs the answer is yes. The retail on them is $1980, and you gotta pay pretty close to that to get them new.
