At work today a beautiful 34 ford hotrod w/ a LS1 pulled up and of course i checked it out.  I saw something i had never seen or thought of: chrome plated coilovers.  They were beautiful and i could not stop looking at them.  Common sense tells me it would have to effect them in some way (stiffer, or the chroming process does domething to their integrity) but i dont know for sure and would love to put this on my list, can anyone tell me anything on this subject?  
Coil-o's and Kswap coming soon

I DONT THINK IT WOULD AFFECT THE COILS JUST HAVE THE CHROME SHOP SAND BLAST, I MEAN REMOVE PAINT OFF OF COIL AND ADD THE CHROME. SAME THING, PAINT REPLACING PAINT U KNOW WHAT I MEAN ITS LIKE GETTING A NEW PAINT JOB U GET THE OLD PAINT OFF BEFORE ADDING THE NEW PAINT RIGHT?
