I've got my suspension and brakes all dis-assembled, getting them ready to be completely refurbished. Should I paint or powder coat? What color(s)?

I've already got a new set of Koni yellows, still need to get rear springs. I'm thinking of doing the brake calipers in red, but haven't decided on the control arms or front strut housing.

Show me some pics of what you've got. Give me some suggestions and choices to consider. Thanks in advance.

Maybe Bernbomb can slip in a photo or two as his are about the nicest all yellow parts I've seen!

Not mine but oh so fresh and so clean...

Here is mine. Mueller Roller Bearings, Carrera Brakes, Powdercoated Steel Grey Metallic.

Here's my 930 turbo front suspension and 930 rear.

Smoke chrome... so sexy.

I did mine in the same color. I wish I had chosen something other than black for the calipers, though.

Here's my cleaned up front with a new sway bar, but other than that all stock!

My front end.

BMW brakes, Koni Adjustables in the struts, Studded stock rotors, spacers for the fatter tires/wheels

6 Pistons on the front and 930s on the rear:

WOW JOE!!!

really really really like the calipers!

what year?

-shag

The fronts are 2002 PCCB calipers on 996TT rotors. The rears are '86 930.

Those things make my 951 calipers look puny.

joe - are thoe KYB's on the RS????

Not anymore. They were just holding up the rear end during construction.
