Default RideTech Powder Coating Color

Currently all of our steel products (4 links, control arms, c-notches, brackets, etc.) are powdercoated a Satin Black finish. We have had some requests over the years for products coated in Silver. I think most will agree that Silver looks better, but will be tougher to keep clean. Offering both colors would push inventory levels too high or cause a delay in shipping. Neither of which are acceptable, so a decision must be made.

So, speak now or forever hold your peace..... Black or Silver?

Default Black

Black, Black, Black, Black.

I don't like when things on the chassis are noticeable. Keep suspension components discrete, hidden and just let them do their job. Silver is a too "blingy" for my taste. Just my $.02

Later,

Brandon

I agree..... but think a special order option is not a bad idea.
