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.

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