From now on if anybody asks about the car, just say it’s black.
Spring rates? Yup, black
Front K? It’s black
Control arms? Black

Or you can answer a question with a question, for instance...
Wouldn’t you like to know?
Or
What’s it to ya?

Another idea borrowed from ol Smokey himself “it’s pretty much stock”

It's a smart call... but one I am unlikely able to adhere to.

(it does need an SLA, and bla bla bla)
