If it were me, I'd do gold to match the lettering on the center caps, so that you don't have too much red going on.
If you get the G2 kit (available from Tirerack and tons of other places), it hardens and you don't need any kind of clearcoat.

Yeah I like that idea, I was thinking yellow but gold might work better. As for the kit, do you apply the paint, glue the decals on and just let it sit? And it will harden nicely with the decals?

I let the calipers harden for a day before applying the decals. The Brembo decals I got from ebay stick on after rubbing them off the backing, and they're fine.

Yeah I saw your calipers in another thread, looks really clean. Did you use any clear coat or just the paint?
I was thinking red too but then im worried I might have too much red. Im thinking yellow or metallic silver right now but if anyone has any other ideas, please let me kniw
Surprisingly the tires tucked under the fender nicely, im thunking about rolling since I want to go lower but no rolling needed as of now

Yeah the guy who put it on messed it up, I'm getting rid of the Magnaflow in the near future anyway.
When it comes to stiffness, I've def driven stiffer cars than the 05 suspension, the Volvo's and Saab's from the 80's for example are almost as stiff, if not stiffer than the sport suspension was on my Mercedes.
Anybody got any ideas what color would look good for the brake calipers?
