Quote from: snellgroveParts arrive next week sometime, will have to arrange fitment.

Can do the struts myself easy, but I wont attempt the springs.

Also need to get the suspension geometry checked, as lowering a car throws all the alignment out I believe? - wonder if its best to bed in for a few weeks or have it done as soon as they are fitted.. :?

Now I gotta tell the ins. company (up to Ã,£1500 worth of this kind of upgrade = Ã,£0 on the premium apart from Ã,£25 admin fee. Do like the company I am with sometimes )

viper stripes, NOS strickers & LEDS and an aluminium wing next, for another 30bhp  

Hmmm I found this on parkers..

Quote from: Deaths Headshould tyres last longer than 2 years on the front?

Depends how many miles you do in 2 years?!

and it also depends on what type of driving...

I am going to try for an airfield day in september, take a fair bit of rubber off the fronts

22K miles since new, so thats how much they have done.  I do often go faster than I should around corners because its so much fun to do in the GT

22K!!!!!



what make / type are they, michelin?!

 Ill be happy to get 5+ out of the Toyos!

Yeah my tyres are lasting forever on my VTS wheels, and they are michelin pilot exalto 2s

body roll is a ford galaxy imho

naa, 2CV

They are quite fun to watch, when going round a corner.

Impossible to roll going forwards though...

Jaimz

I bet I could roll that.

The only way they roll is doing a reverse 180

Jaimz

reckon an adverse cambered corner would roll that easy enough

I dont know - the body weighs virtually nothing. The chassis is most of the weight, and even the brake (disc) is inboard and sprung. The suspension basically consists of long trailing arms connected by springs to the chassis and provide the characteristic body roll and soft ride.

Its actually pretty clever for the age of it!

although even if it did, it wouldnt be anywhere near as funny as hamster rolling that rascal van  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

my zs handles beautifully even with a heavy oil burner in the front, and a inormous boot on the back. havent had a hint of understeer yet, even in the wet, havent been pushing it too much yet tho, but it great on the twisties. Roads that i would have taken at about 45 in the megane are being delt with at 65+ in the Zed.

not getting as many mpgs tho  :?  

sounds like the activa. getting about 20mpg now on the bigger turbo, but in its defence i did outcorner a 330 so badly he spun off trying to keep up!
