I think it time to start modifying the Zed now the wetter months are starting, for now I’m doing mainly the suspension and brakes. Below is a list of parts that I am thinking of getting, If I could have your opinions on the parts or any suggestions of alternative manufacturers, Or of any items that it would be worth upgrading at the same time it would be most appreciated.

 

1st: Suspension:

 

HKS Hyper damper II Coilovers

 

Front:

 

SPL or Powertrix Adjustable tension rods and Upper arms

SPL pro adjustable lower arm

SPL pro tie rod ends

Energy suspension Steering rack bushings

 

Rear

 

SPL or Powertrix Adjustable upper arms

SPL pro adjustable lower arms

SPL pro traction rods

SPL pro Toe arms (with brace etc for eliminating HICAS)

 

SPL pro aluminium subframe bushings

SPL pro aluminium differential bushings

 

SPL front and rear stabiliser links + Stillen sway bars

 

I want to get front and rear Strut braces, any suggestions?.

 

 

2nd: Brakes

 

Want to upgrade my brakes but not sure what to get I haven’t got any high power mods so uprated discs and pads should do, any suggestions?

 

Im also thinking of getting a short shift gear stick, wheres the best place to get this from and is there anything else that id be wise to change at the same time? Thinking of getting a new gear knob Ive seen the auto aftermarket one by Razo IIRC that look sort of like a computer joystick are there any manual gear knobs like this type?

 

 

Thanks Lee

Pretty good list there fellla and all decent branded stuff too ;)

Dunno how much the HKS Suspension is but Tein are highly recommended by most.

Brakes, some decent discs and pads with stainless braided lines and new fluid will see a massive improvement, if you more substantial stopping power then bigger discs is a good upgrade.

Search using the search facility on the forum for old posts on people experiences.

If yer want prices on SPL suspension goodies, DBA discs, carbon kevlar pads, drop me a line ;)

cheers
