on a race car i would agree, had a gd chat with hardrace and a couple of other car builders and they all talked me out of spherical's as mine will be on the road as well.

time will tell i suppose?

i thought it was the shock bush that was too wide? fit on the chassis but the shock wont fit over them?

that was my understanding of the problem too... better be as I've already had the bush and tube turned down 10mm and I'm about to have the arms milled!

I might look into this in the future, but at the moment it's just a toy so I'm not too worried

mine is on sphericals, seems ok atm but not driven very far in it.

right have to look at that then when i get my coilovers???

not sure if i would just sell the skunk ones and get the ones from hard race if that's the case.

The Skunk ones won't be hard to fix, there's a bloke on RT offering to do them for about £25 a time if you can't do it yourself

[Drew]

if you havnt got the coilovers yet, then ask for a 50mm rear lower shock mount. i have to assume that they will be able to, as the rears on the ZS are the same style as the honda's.

i bought the 40mm lower arms thinking i could add spacers if need be, then ordered my gaz asking for a 40mm lower mount. they didnt have a problem, im guessing thats because they are std zs size.

Time for another big update




















So that's the engine pipe work 90% finished (just a fuel pipe and coolant pipe to make up) and I've been in talks with Sitech about getting it mapped and set up in the near future.

Looks like EX259 might actually be running before it's 4 year anniversary after all

Also coming up within the next few weeks it's off to Goldie at ZRed to have another engine fitted (a nice forged version with toys) and a couple of other little things finished off.

It's getting to the final push now

All sounds and looks very positive Ross, will be nice to see this up close one day.

Think I would put some great big bull bars on the front. To protect all those rads.

Glad its coming on a pace, Knockhill booking time soon.

Well done Ross.
