Choosing Lowering Suspension By Color?

For those that don't know, the top picture is the JIC Crossover, the middle picture is the KW's and the lower one is the Bilstein. I like the color of the JIC, and the performance of the KW's and the adjustability of the Bilstein's. And it wasn't for the guys in the CanAm getting me hooked on all of the twisties, I might not even be considering this.

I have JIC's on my ride... I even paid for them!
No complaints here except that I probably chose too stiff of springs for the street... The car can feel like it's skipping on very rough patches. I still think they are the best value/$$.

The JICs are showing with camber plates, which is a lot of the AR look on those. If you are planning on doing any AX/DE/TT events, you will take points for those and class yourself way up (not preferable if you are just learning the car).
Heck, I can't hardly SEE the suspension with the wheels on, so really does it matter? I agree with the person who said tick the performance boxes first, then powder coat to your liking if you really need to. Besides, if you are looking at the suspension, you aren't driving....decide which you like to do and go with it.

You couldn't pay me to put JICs on a car, regardless of the colour. KW Clubsports and Moton Clubsports are universally accepted to be great products and are race or street ready. PSS10s are well regarded on this forum as a decent street setup and are probably well suited to what you want to do though are not as suited to a race oriented setup if you ever decided to do some lapping days.

Oh, I paid for my JICs.

Nope, it's real.
I try to drive how I feel that day in relation to MPH.
For instance, if I feel 1/2 *** that day, I drive 50MPH.
Then while I drive the Cab I like to yell "Hairy *****" at stop lights.

Well, to make sure you are 100% color coordinated and not just close, you can instead paint your car to match the color of your suspension choice! A purple and yellow 993 to match the KWs would be hawt!!

Yes - I paid for mine too and HEAPS as the Aussie Peso was about half where it is now.....

X2, sound advice and prolly the best recommendation yet! Don't compromise performance over the cost of a couple rattle cans of paint!!

There is a company that makes vinyl graphics for shocks and springs so you can change the color of your suspension to suit your mood. I'm going to go with the "oak trim" option so I can freak out the scrutineers.
