I don't know man, the springs look mahogany to me. IMO like they want to be darker or something. Going to do some pshopping.

They look good. They kinda look close to the color on the top of the shock. Maybe it's just the lighting. :dunno: Silver or black would look good too.

I like the coil color. That said, the two colors do not look good together. Its unfortunate, for sure.

My only worry with the silver is that the third color, especially a bright color like silver, will really make things too busy. :dunno:

The first lighter silver looks good. It matches the fittings and such, looks cleaner than the others. IMO, They look a little busy.

I think they look good as-is. While not a perfect match, it probably won't be very noticeable when mounted on the truck. Black would also be a good choice, or a silver that matches the shock body would also be a possibility.

Just a side thought: How well is the powdercoating going to hold up on a spring that is flexing all the time while driving? :dunno:

black. i was gona say the silver but being that it matches the strut, it kinds blends in a bit too much. then again the grey is different. maybe a whole new color? too bad you couldnt PC the strut black and the coil silver or a different color.

Powdercoat is VERY flexible, it's basically a plastic coating. Far more durable than any paint would ever be, especially on surface that would see a lot of flexing.
