Eibach pro kit. What is it...0.8 in the front 1.2 in the rear...something like that.
Looks AWESOME, ride gets harsh at times, but it is better than stock.
As for height, the higher the speedbump or steeper the driveway determines what will rub:
-The exhaust rubs first, then as the bump gets higher...
-The side skirts rub too.....as the bump gets higher....
-The rear bumper rubs as well....as the bump gets higher....
-The the front lip also rubs.
You just have to take it slow, angle, angle, angle, and don't try if you don't think you'll make it.
I will be taking it out next year to get the TEIN flex with EDFC. Many reasons:
-Performance wise, progressive springs aren't the way to go
-The best solution is to get springs AND shocks...that means eibachs with konis or something like that OR a coilover where the shocks and springs are made for each other
- I like gadgets...hence the EDFC
- Oh yeah, and ride height adjustable just in case I need to.

Maybe I'm getting old but does anybody find the ride in the stock ZR a little stiff already? I haven't tracked the car yet so I'm not sure what kind of body roll the car experiences but in Toronto where we have our share of potholes and uneven road surfaces, I find the factory suspension a little stiff.
To contrast, my dad has a F355 which has active suspension control. Even in race mode, the Ferrari consumes potholes and bumps with less harshness than my Z.

you can call us...
we match prices...
We have it in stock...

i think i will go with HKS because it is the only coilover that will let me adjust the rear while the wheel still mounting on. The rest of it, you will have to take off the wheel and adjust it. ZR is different than Coupe in the rear adjustment.
