Lowering my Z: wedges vs coilovers - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Van Steel coil overs on my 94 with a good set of NON RUNFLATS and she rides smooth as can be. I forget how many clicks I set them at but it’s extremely agile and responsive and very comfortable on road trips.

I had to do some tuning. Pete is right. I went from 450 fronts to 400 and from 300 to 250 in back

went with bansky rods I street drive my Z on the mean streets of DC and like the coil overs just fine

I think the vette brakes stuff has a nice rear knuckle support in lieu of relying on one bolt, but so far the DRM stuff I have is fine

I think that now there are better shocks than the fx3 though and I'd sure consider the new setup Demps has with adjustable shocks or the vette brakes setup

the bansky rods free up travel and knock out bushing "sticktion" at the mounting points and also reduce bushing squirm to make the car track better

stiffen up the car with a 6 point or 4 point with kick outs if able as it helps quite a bit.
