The color is Black Chrome powdercoat done by Bonehead Performance here in PA
When it gets straightened out it'll look real good. Keep us posted.

I took the wheel off yesterday and everything seemed to be on there as it should. The only thing that I would question is the orientation of the bottom spring mount (aka is it mounted upside down). I don't know how that would happen though.
Anyways, I may end up getting new springs and seeing if that changes anything.
Any suggestions on places to buy them, brand, etc?

looks to me like the springs got swapped from front to rear..I would try swapping the springs around before ordering new ones..there is no way, and I dont care what mechanic says so, that those springs are installed correctly, especially if they were on someone car before with no issues.

The springs are labeled Front and Rear, and I also measured the front spring with a caliper to make sure the thicker, more robust spring was in the right spot. Also, I called Swift to see if they ever had any labeling problems, and they said no (so the springs are not mislabeled at all)
