So I'm pulling all my suspension off the car to install the helper springs - finding that they're a bit crusty. An unexpected maintenance session to make sure all those threads are in good shape, etc...

Do you guys generally dismantle/clean the suspension after every race? Power washing does not seem to do the trick eh?

What else do you do after a race on a regular basis?
