Red is stock. I also went with red on the suspension.

looks good. Just por 15 those rotors so u dont see that rust . Use a wire brush and get all the big pieces off and then wipe it with a rag. It wont come off bc my dad has used it on our cars.

I just used a high temp engine enemel on my roters they were rusted to begin with, and well its held up for 3 years now, I also did my rear drums with it.
What type of paint is the red on your suspension I havent been able to get a red to look that glossy on my calipers, and suspension parts.

I've used POR many times: a-arms when I did the front brakes and the entire rear end when I swaped in the PBR's. Rotors? Cool, I guess. Not sure I'm quite that **** (my car buddies would say that I am though)!
The suspension parts are either from Spohn or powercoated locally. The red on the carriers is, I hesitate to say it, Ford Red engine enamel from CarQuest No. 206.
The steering wheel is a Grant product. I purchased it at AutoZone, I think, for around $125. The black billet sleeve is from Summit or Jegs (another $50 as I recall). The silver Camaro horn cap was another $20 or so. Here's a link for what I did to the cluster:

Very nice,don't see too many silver IROCs anymore and especially in that good condition.Maybe I misunderstood but POR15 the rotors? You can do the outer edges maybe but not the braking surfaces!

I'm not sure that you can call silver rare, but I've only seen one other (apparently my car has a sister, right down to the rear wipper, in Canada).
You're correct about the braking surfaces and POR.
