Oh did you paint them gold?? Since the pix are so bright I mistook it for rust. Looks good, wouldn't have went gold myself but that's better than rust any day

**Galante** · 05-29-2008, 02:02 PM

Yes I painted it gold. But now I'm planning to paint it Red or Blue. Which color would be best? ty

**komodo** · 05-29-2008, 02:58 PM

**Da_silvagride** · 05-30-2008, 11:25 AM

paint the drum black and front Red

you started out nice man, great job! I'm wondering, what type of suspension do you currently have installed on your G?

**Serstylz2** · 06-02-2008, 08:10 AM

I think you should colormatch the drums and calipers w. the car color. The rear drum shouldn't be anything besides colormatched or black, and the front colormatched, black or red, that's what I would do if it were me

Hey guys, I just painted it red both drums and caliper before I read the threads. It looks better than gold anyways! I'll post some pics later.

My suspension is Tein S-Tech w/ stock shocks.

I actually like the gold on a silver or even a white Galant. Any other color Galant and I wouldn't like it. A bronze color would have been even better though. Everyone has red. My calipers are currently purple just to be different, but I've been thinking of changing them to black or blue.

Looks good

Thanks guys, I recently changed my rotors because when I changed my brake pads 3months ago I did not change rotors that's why when I brake the steering wheel rattles. But now it's smooth as new. I bought the drilled rotors w/ pads from ebay.

Btw, do you know saboy2 from ebay? He was recently selling an EGR visor which I won but then somebody sent me a pm from an ebayer who have transaction with him but he did not receive the item even no reply from saboy2. So I put stop payment on my bank until the seller sends me a pic of the item with his ID and current date.

I never had any problems with my tires. It rides smooth and enough protection on the rims when I accidentally ran on a shallow path holes. Before, I really would like to get the 35 series but the tires seller told me to go with the 40's so the speedometer of the car will not change since it's the new rims/tires are the same height as the stock wheels.
