Heim Link Maneuver & I hope it doesn't Break Upgrade
To All-
I'm starting to accumulate the parts for my spring 2009 ZR-1 upgrades. I am collecting all of these parts and as soon as I can get it up the hill to a friends place (He has a lift) we will install them. This work won't be able to be done until at least April 1 and probably later. The snow on the hill lasts until at least then, and maybe closer to May 1. I will take pictures and do a part by part description of the change if you would like. I want the Z to have better suspension, handling & braking than it had when it was originally built. Ron has Coil Overs on his ZR-1 but not all of the Heim Joint Parts so we will see what this does. For now I'll keep the transverse springs. This may change after evaluating the other upgrades. Let me know if you would like me to post the progress and results. Front Suspension Upper and Lower Control Arms W/Ball Joints (OEM NOS) Energy Suspension Polyurethane Control Arm Bushings & Ball Joint Boots Guldstrand Heim Joint Sway Bar End Links Energy Suspension Polyurethane Sway Bar Bushings Baer Front Tracker (Heim Joint) Adjustable Tie Rod Ends DRM FX3 Damper(Shock) Bushings('07 I replaced all shocks and Actuators) Rear Suspension Guldstrand Heim Joint Toe Rod Kit Guldstrand Heim Joint Sway Bar End Links and Bushings Guldstrand Heim Joint Trailing Arms Guldstrand Heim Joint Camber Rod Kit DRM FX3 Damper(shock) Bushings Energy Suspension Polyurethane Rear Spring Bushings Brake Upgrade Baer Eradispeed Plus Rotors (Front 13 Inch) Baer Eradispeed Plus Rotors (Rear 12 Inch) 1996 Grand Sport Calipers (Front) Rear Brake Calipers Maybe (Any Recommendations over the ZR-1 Stock Calipers, keeping in mind I want to use the Grand Sport fronts) Steel Braided Brake Lines (Any brand recommendations?) DRM Bias Spring Upgrade Castrol SRF Brake Fluid That pretty much does it for now. I am open to suggestions but research has led me to these changes and manufacturers. Rich
