Good find but i want about 30 - 35mm drop, i dont know why they made the zt so high! Looks so much better when its lowered, handles better too.

Handling got nothing to do with how much you lower it.............don't tell me you want a big spoiler for down force as well

If you want a set for the V8 there are 3 options.

VHS kit
King Springs (look on ebay, but an owner reported issues)
Have them made to order at a spring supplier

If you choose the 3rd option, I can put you in touch with my spring manufacturer if you like

190SETOURING · 19th September 2013, 22:37

I dont think i mentioned a spoiler just suspension.

Eibach springs with billy shockers as stock so why change that. It handles better on the road than my BMW. 335d ever did.

Don't think the VHS kit is available any more.

Bear in mind the V8 has less clearance underneath than a standard ZT, lower it too far and you'll rub the underside on just about everything.
