My cars silver but if they had one in red I would have went for that as its my fave for the Vrs. Love black also........until it rains

Black if you don't mind cleaning, polishing, waxing, detailing, paint chips, cleaning, polishing, waxing, detailing, paint chips, etc.

Silver is actually the easiest colour to keep looking clean, followed IME, by red an d blue.

Black Magic is a stunning colour, but a head-wrecker to keep.

Bonnet bras, waist-line corsets, boot knickers are all required, as well as a garage.

oh n what are the disc makes on the red devil?

I need some new ones on mine, dont want to go back to the std ones.

iCraig · 17-05-2008, 21:24

White!

**delcac** · 17-05-2008, 21:26

The suspension is KW3 with racing springs. It could be set up lower but I have a 10mm strengthening plate between the block and sump which puts it closer to the floor.

The front brakes are the Jabba 4 pot Brembo kit with DS2500 pads. The rears are Black diamond discs with DS 2500's. It's still not enough to stop this car. A note on the black diamonds. My last set of fronts cracked the disc on the drilled holes. Mind you I was coming down from 180 on the runway at CZ.

is urs set to the minimum lowering at the back? ie can it be higher if wanted?

what sort of money are the KW3s?

cheers mate

mattbeef · 17-05-2008, 21:36

It can go higher and lower back and front.

I think they are about £900 - 1k + fitting.

claytarget_god · 17-05-2008, 21:44

WoW

thats a lot.
soz i know this is off topic

RobClubley · 18-05-2008, 00:38

Red is best - red ones go faster.

Though I have to admit black can look stunning when clean.

Steevie Wonder · 18-05-2008, 08:11
