Looks like Silver is the going color by members or at least to provide a muted color as you were looking for, need a pic on car when you are finished .

jock156,
That blue does look very nice with the silver body color. Maybe I should consider that color for my silver car I have!

They’re ST X coilovers. Fitted by the previous owner at 140.000km, I’m currently at 178 and going strong. They’re stiff but well-sorted, as you’d expect from the daughter company of KW The ride is hard but I’m on 19’s so that doesn’t help
Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...

Wondering, is this a heat resistant powder coat or the normal powder coat? Normal powder coat should be fine for the street, but if tracking, might be an issue. Just curious. I know the place I have gotten powder coating done at does not do heat resistant, but obviously there are places that do.

Thanks for the info. Price seems inline with the BC RACING COILOVERS. I'm running 19's as well and can be a bit punishing with the stock struts at 112K miles. I have never driven the car with the stock 18", but bet the ride would be a bit nicer on more rubber! But I really like the 19's! Killer look!

I dont track mine. They are fine (so far) and have been on the car for about a year.

I painted mind Blue at the weekend to subtle on a Montego Blue but for a silver Coupe I'd go Black or Silver, seeing as these calipers arnt very hard-core I think a darker colour is best imop

I'm planning on repainting the calipers and can't really decide which colour to go with. I'm not really into some blue, red, yellow, etc. stuff, I'm thinking more about black or silver/grey variants. Black would be almost invisible so the wheel itself becomes more "visible" while bright silver would add to the overall look.
Opinions?
When I bought new calipers for my e39, they came in bright silver. Looks like this:
