Banski Rear Suspension Impressions - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

pantera1683 · 12-14-2010

Earlier this year I replaced all of the rubber bushings in the front with polys. I also replaced the rear sway bar mounts, endlinks, and spring mounts. As a result, the front of the car felt really smooth over bumps but the rear still needed attention.

With this in mind, I ordered Banski's complete rear end kit. I completed the install a couple weeks ago and I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and workmanship of their kit. It consisted of the toe rod assembly, strut rods, and trailing arms. Installation was simple and straightforward and took me a about 8 hours from start to finish. I took my time and thankfully there weren't any surprises.

After driving the Z every day since the installation I am ecstatic with the results. The first thing I noticed is how well and easily the suspension articulated. By jouncing each rear corner of the car, I could see the shocks working as tey were intended without any resistance in travel. Before, I tried to avoid every bump or rut in the road because of the rattles and harshness. Now, she rides smooth over bumps and the rattles are pretty much gone. I would say the ride now is almost as smooth as a new car's.

Bottom line is I recommend the Banski kit. If you are considering upgrading your rear suspension you should look into their kit.
