Okay after removing all my suspension and disassembling almost all of it, I have started to clean everything up and prep them for paint, and urethane bushings. I also prepped my NSX Calipers to be painted.

NSX Calipers

Brake Rotors and pads NAPA United Rotors and NAPA ceramic pads, I got a good deal of course.

Specialty products ball joint seperator (sp?)
best tool ever.

This is about half of my mess

another view

and my new struts NAPA sensatracs (again got a great deal, of course) and my Nuespeed Race Springs. ALso my dissasembled struts and front spindles.

I had to get a new set or Energy Suspension bushings since my first set was missing a few. Got it fixed no problem except got to wait a few days to get them. I'll post pics when I get everything painted. Need suggestions on caliper color.

looks like it is coming together nicely Josh, hmmm Caliper color for a blue car. I honestly would either say white or silver. My opinion though, I painted mine silver a while back and they look pretty good.

the cars not staying blue though. I don't know what color I want to paint it.

I think caliper color depends on the car color. Unless you paint them black or silver..Those would look good with any color..IMO

Thanks, guys. I think I figured out what color I'm going to paint them, but I'm keeping it a secret till I get pics. ALso I'm going to paint all my suspension arms, not sure what color though. Gotta go with my springs which are yellow.

j_t_heilbrun · 03-23-2003, 09:13 PM

I think the car is going to be black (not sure). I already decided on the calipers color, won't tell till there done. But I have all the suspension arms off and I'm thinking of painting them red or something. And actually It's been two weeks since I started.
