Also so 2 important things were discovered today, 1, If you soak the rear ARB links in HOT water for a few minutes they push onto the anti-roll bar quite easily (Ant said) and 2. Using a Tite-Reach tool makes removing the rear shocker top mount nuts a breeze. (Bozzy said).

Tony.

ps. One more thing was discovered too, if you make Bozzy a mug of tea with sugar, Sean can drink two !!=))
Tony that tight reach tool is excellent so I'm gonna get one :D.........if Sara gives me any pocket money :meh:.

Been out today and put the Z through its paces and it is a different car, the body roll into the bends has gone as has the tram lining, seems much more planted and a lot safer, for some reason I am getting a lot more tyre squeal through the bends ;), so thanks again guys, it feels like I have a new toy.

I'm a bit worried about what happens up there..so far I've heard mention of:
Tite reach
Bare ass
Suspenders
HOT water and pushing
Squealing
.....











Glad to hear you got some suspension- I fell out of love with mine when the suspension was shot, was thinking of breaking it but some TLC by @zedshed HQ saw me back in my Z. Feels like yesterday but must be 2yrs ago now.

Looking bloody lovely @Sean d

Brilliant work you blokes, those Monroe shocks have good reviews Sean, pleased they have passed the road test, it's nice to know there are tried and tested decent alternatives to the bilsteins. :thumbsup:
