Don't find time...make time. Car handles amazing with them!

So the drive home this evening was finally dry. These things are ridiculous and are gonna get me into some serious trouble (FUN). I may have been pretty ticked that it took so long but now the bigger question is why I waited so long! If you're on the fence about the Pfadt ZL Stage 2 kit, do yourself a favor and DO IT already. :rocker:

I'm getting mine installed next Friday by Haddad Motorsports who did my springs.
I was wondering if you ever found out what your suspension noise was?

Yes, it was the two lock nuts for the front endlinks- if they're not completely snug, they loosen up and allow the joints to move and pop. Simple fix and gave me an opportunity to re-torque most everything after a few days of driving.

Hey baloguk how you liking your new set up I love mine but my only problem is when turning I get a weird noise idk what it is. It's not rubbing but sounds like it could be a strut or new full bushings need to be broken in idk yet.

Lakers-
I'm absolutely loving the new setup. It's like a totally different car, isn't it!?

Sorry to hear about your noises- what's the noise you're hearing!?? Mine is perfectly silent other than my tires screaming.... Have you isolated the noise as coming front? May be worth jacking up front with a friend and crank left and right to see if you can pin it down. First thing I'd check is the endlinks as they have "user" adjustment....

It is all together different I love it. To bad the cars didn't come like this from factory. The noise has seemed to quiet down after I got the bushings timed. We will see maybe I just need to drive it more and harder a lil bit lol to let everything break in.

lakersftbl69 · 08-22-2013, 06:59 PM

Oh yeah the noise I hear is weird lol I can't describe it. It may possibly have to do with my front alignment possibly being off I need to order new bolts so when I get those and re do the front alignment that might help.

Had my Pfadt ZLspec sways installed by Haddad Motorsports on Friday with the poly subframe bushings. I already had the Hotchkis 1" drop springs installed. I notice that the ride is harsher over undulated uneven surfaces and bumps, but, ride nice on even or smooth roads. No noises and the handling is great. Now I notice the limitations of the P-Zeros.

Good feedback! Yes the ride will be harsher on uneven bumps, but like you said on even surfaces it will feel no different! Time to upgrade those tires and really have some fun!
