The suspension that I currently have on my zed isn't great. They're Tokicho and they're blue (they're not coilovers), and I think the fronts are shagged as they feel a bit... "wafty" at speed. Slightly contradictory, the whole setup feels too stiff which doesn't inspire confidence on a typical bumpy b-road.

 

Anyway, I'm just wondering what standard suspension is like? I've never been in a Zed with standard units (actually I've never been in a Zed other than my own!). Is it totally useless, hence why everyone seems to have replaced it, or is it perfectly competent for everyday use, and blasting down a country road (I don't do trackdays)?

 

I'd love a set of Meisters but funds are a bit tight at the moment. I guess I could also just replace the front shocks on mine if possible...

the standard suspension is good . i have a set of standard rear struts with only 1000 miles on them if you are interested

I was looking at hollowpoint's Z earlier and he's also got tokico blue shocks, he said the ride is very harsh with them.

it will cost you more for new standard suspension items that it will for the Meister R's

 

Fitting nearly new, like what andyzx has is good, but fitting older 2nd hand stuff is pointless. Most owners are running around on tired old stock suspension that should of been replaced many years ago.

Might be interested. Only 1000 miles? Were they fairly recent replacements then? Is the car going to look like it's on stilts?

That just about sums it up I'd say!

yes the rears were recent replacements . the fronts on mine were totally knackered so i replaced all round for some agx s .

If it's just the rears I might pass, unless I can find a newish set of fronts to go with them, thanks anyway.

Have you had a play with tyre presures, made a big difference on mine.
