Default New suspension parts....new colors....You decide.

I just bought all of my new suspension parts that Im going to install in the next couple of weeks but Im going to visit the powder coater before I install them. I need help picking a color combo. Here's what I got...



K-Sport full coilovers
ASR Brace
Function 7 LCA's
OEM 22mm Sway bar

Here's what I was thinking...

1. Powder coat the k-sport lower mounts gloss black and polish the ASR brace leaving the rest of the items as is.

2. Powder coat the k-sport lower mounts gloss black, powder coat the ASR brace gloss black and leave the function 7 LCA's and sway bar as is.

3. Go stealth mode - Powder coat the k-sport lower mounts gloss black, powder coat the ASR brace gloss black, powder coat the function 7 LCA's gloss black and leave the sway bar as is (Gloss black).

This is the car they will be going on....I have SIR chrome/polished headlights and black rims with a chrome/polished lip so Im trying to keep the exterior theme of the car black and chrome/polished...




Please help me out here!

I wouldn't do anything to the K-Sports, because odds are they're going to blow out. Not trying to sound like a dick, but that's what they're known for.

Even if they do blow I can still keep the lower mounts and use them on another setup...IE FF2's and Tein's...They are all threaded the same.

I would not spend the money to beautify those parts, but rather on other things you could purchase. ARC IceBox or somthing along those lines.

Personally I would leave the shocks as they are. If you are going for a stealthy look powder coat the ASR brace black along with the LCA's.

If you are going to do anything to those parts you should have them annodized, noy powdercoated. I think the annodizing will hold better.
