No problem, if you'll just pay for shipping. I'd estimate UPS charges around $425?

Is there a "leg pull" emoticon?

Does this one work

I think that's the third leg.

elff · « **Reply #53 on:** March 01, 2011, 09:12:47 PM »

and it is being pulled

FWIW, while the increased roll stiffness afforded by the ZOK front bar gives mild understeer on a slalom course, it seems to be pretty decent on the street, and I suspect would be on a road course as well.

Tru dat !! But course dependent. BTW, there is enough room, forward of the existing sway bar link hole, for another hole which should net almost a 10% increase in stiffness for ZERO dollars. It can be felt.

(Another helpful hint from you Uncle Bob!!)

I have both GXP Z0K bars and I have been very happy with the results, it understeers, but honestly I'm fine with that, I'm just going for fun not lap times, so I'd rather understeer than back into the wall.

elff · « **Reply #58 on:** March 02, 2011, 05:17:00 PM »

Once I get the backbone, new bushings and rear ZOK Im gonna check the local AutoCross schedule and go for a day and see how it works out.

I'm curious to see how much it effects the plowing under really hard cornering in a timed event.

Thank you guys for suggesting and helping me to decide on this and thanks GT8R for helping me to get them cheaper on shipping

FYI - Once my bushings come in, I will have a FE3 rear swaybar to get rid of.

By saying "Z0K rear", do you mean the sway bar? If so, the car will be neutral to loose if you do not overcook turns. (Brake early!!) BTW, do you have either the Z0K rear cross member of ProBeam. Either will do wonderful things for the handling.

elff · « **Reply #62 on:** March 02, 2011, 07:18:53 PM »

I do mean swaybar.
I've had the probeam for a while it made a very noticeable difference

JQuinonesJorge · « **Reply #63 on:** March 02, 2011, 09:07:38 PM »

Question? Can the probeam and the GXP Z0K be installed at the same time? If so would it be good or a bad Idea

Critterman · « **Reply #64 on:** March 02, 2011, 09:08:27 PM »

yes, and altimately you will want both

elff · « **Reply #65 on:** March 02, 2011, 09:12:39 PM »

Interesting, I never thought of that.

altimately? You have to be high to want them both?

JQuinonesJorge · « **Reply #67 on:** March 02, 2011, 09:20:35 PM »

wow getting responses quickly on this one! I wonder if anyone out there has done this, tried, or questioned the possibility!

Critterman · « **Reply #68 on:** March 02, 2011, 09:23:48 PM »

I didn't do them at the same time, went probeam, backbone, rear FE3 (ZOK for the NA), then front FE3 bar. Oh yeah adjustable HKS coilovers before the sway bars

JQuinonesJorge · « **Reply #69 on:** March 02, 2011, 09:27:51 PM »

Hey critter why didnt you go GXP z0K?

LatinVenom · « **Reply #70 on:** March 03, 2011, 10:23:49 PM »

Are you asking about the Z0K cross member and the probeam install together?.
Or is your question about the Z0K sway bars and the ProBeam?.
I did the ProBeam/BackBone then the Z0K spring/shocks and sway bars front and rear.
Then develop the LV KappA Front Chassis Brace after reading the info from WERKS and DDM.

JQuinonesJorge · « **Reply #71 on:** March 03, 2011, 10:41:36 PM »

Yes your first question LV.

Critterman · « **Reply #72 on:** March 03, 2011, 10:43:31 PM »

ZOK cross member and the DDM crossbrace are basically the samething

LatinVenom · « **Reply #73 on:** March 04, 2011, 10:32:02 PM »

JQuinonesJorge,
Not sure if you would improve the suspension by having both of them installed together.
