Default suspension color

i figure this is better suited in the appearance section than the suspension b/c its about color, but with a black SS do you think i should go with black or red suspension pieces? i currently have black subframe connectors and black torque arm BTW...

I heard BMR was going to make silver their new standard color and it was gonna cost extra to get red/black powdercoating. I think silver would look really good with black at any rate.

red. if ur askin about it as far as appearance goes, then im guessin u want it to show. black is goin to blend in and be hidden. red will let ppl know that somethin is under there.

How are you going to show off your suspension pieces anyway unless you park on top of jackstands with a mirror underneath?
