Red car and red suspension parts. Look a lot better than the stock black stuff.

i am putting some good money into my suspension crap so why not have it stick out? i am doing all red. eventually red calipers too. i think its a nice theme for suspension and brakes. except springs. i keep them black. colored springs are for lifted trucks.

Well, here is my problem. The front suspension to me needs to continue to use stock components for my application. Since those are blacke, and I don't like things to not match, I'm kinda stuck with black. Flat black woud be my favorite, but nobody sells that.

i have red suspension components on my SS, and I will do the same to my '95 TA. it's a good complementing contrast of color to the color of the car and the underbody as well...

Black and only black. Until it changes to "road grime" which
is its final color. Want it to look like "ain't got nuthin'"
