Colour for suspension parts?
 

I'll be building my rear parallel bars this weekend (providing the steel tube arrives) and I'm not sure what colour to paint it all.

Will be,

4 rear parallel arms
2 rear tie bars
Rear ARB
2 front tie bars

I had the tie bars green on the old set up and quite liked them. Black seems boring. Silver, nice, but a little safe?

Callipers are yellow and the coilovers are blue.

Not sure what colour to do it all?

Opinions?

Titanium :)

I'm doing all my set up in bt grey

Was black but doesn't stand out

anthracite it a good colour.

Yeah, I'm thinking about going it all bright green, like the tie arms were so it stands out. I want it to be seen.

Go yellow to match calipers

Can't really see a great deal
Not the best pic but you get the idea
Attachment 66447

mine will be going a darkish colour

but yours would look great in some kinda green..... luck of the Irish

nice drop link on the a/r/bar

Same direction I'm going. Threaded inserts, 1/2" joints and turnbuckles.

Gonna do the same with a 16i arb set up

I'm doing mine Saturday so I'll let you know how I get on.

Gus - They look white in the pics imo. Quite bold and in your face tho, i likey!
I went for powdercoated black when i refurbed mine, you guys have made me feel boring now...:grin:

i havent got the space to fit one but ive never needed it either

How you get on muz?

Nigel you running the std mef set up (shocks and springs)

think there welded up Gus sure hes updated on his build thread

I've welded up the bars and fitted the drop links to the front ARB but then I ran out of gas! Typical. I need to think of a way to mount the rear ARB, otherwise they won't be in situ adjustable.

mines mounted pretty much the same way dude

A I see. Your using the std mount onto the ally crossmember

I'm getting a bracket made to accept a rose joint

Yeah I thought about that, but my RSi joints are practically new so going to use them for now.

different spring rates
ideally i would like to get the shocks re valved
