Suspension mods. what color
 

With in the next month i am getting lca's, subframe connectors, front and rear sway bars, panhard bar, and a front end rebuild kit. I am ordering all my stuff from Spohn. Now the question should i get the powder coated red or black? im going to get everything in one color i was thinking about the red but dont know what color i am going with on my car when i repaint it.

can't go wrong with black. that's what my phr, sfc's, and springs are.

of course the shocks are yellow :evil:

My car is pewter, and I just ordered my front end from BMR in all red. It's kind of a theme that I'm running through the car. It's a good highlight to my color.

i like the black but i might actually go with a differnt red on my car this time. the front clip the paint is chipping bad from jerkoffs parking on top of me. and the rear bumper cover is missing a nice sized peice of paint for my ex backing into me 2 times when we were dating. good thing it wasnt afterwards. i wouldnt have a car. im just waiting for my color chart from house of kolors to come in and then pick a base coat. it will be a custom mixed color so im gonna pick a couple colors.

If you're not sure of what color you're painting the car, you can't go wrong with black. If you buy the red suspension parts and then pick a red that "clashes" with the suspension, it might look kinda goofy.

Plus, the red stuff you have to clean all the time; black hides the road dirt well. :)

black is a great color. makes the the car look lower in evening and at night. :) it is all about stance, only time anyone shoudl see your suspension is when you lift the front tires :)

tim i dont plan on being able to lift the front tires yet. looks like someone near me is putting a ls1 in their car also. i just dont have the time or the tools to do my install so im sending the car to NC to get done. 8500 installed which isnt to bad.

black all the way

i'm doing all my suspension in black, it sticks out less IMO, i have extensive plans for my car over the winter and i want it to appear as stock as possible, so when someone rolls up behind me, my lower control arms and everything else wont stand out...even though the ford 9" and engine whine may give something away. :lol:

Has anyone hever stood behind there car? Unless your laying on your knees your cant see suspension parts ona fbody. :roll:

if you have rear lower control arms that are a bright color and you have relocation brackets that drop the mounting point 3", they do become somewhat visible, but true, they are mainly hidden.

Im all about the red big guy. But if you are not sure what color you want to go with, I suggest black or if they have...silver.

i got black and if you are in a low car behind an f body unless the exhaust is hanging you can see the bottom left of the panhard bar and the can see the LCA's if you look past the rear wheel at the right angle..i did black....looks great...my lower control arms are lakewood orange which looks ugly...but i don't care or else i would have painted them...the black looks great on mine though....black and the bushings are red...

i think i am gonna be ordering most of my suspension stuff in bare metal and painting it to match my car. as much as i like fast, i have always wanted to own a car that could win at shows and blast teh 1320 with the best of them.
my suspension color will be important, cause i plan to lift the fronts high enough for everyone to check it out :)
