ZTT discs and shock absorbers
Are the front discs from the ZTT 190 a straight swap for a ZTT diesel?
Anybody knows a good source for ZTT shock absorbers? (Facelift model) Thank you, Luciano |

Discs are larger on the 190 - you can fit them but you'll also need new pads, calipers & carriers.

Shocks
I looked for prices of shocks/springs for 75 diesel tourer.
Complete assembled £230 from Xpart/Best of British. Sachs shocks from Euro Car Parts £47.50. Sachs springs £36.50 Could not find them at another 4 suppliers. Don't know if ZT shocks are different.

I've just brought a pair of front shocks complete with springs and top mounts for £235 from best of British via eBay. Local garage quoted me £258 EACH for just shocks!
Needless to say I was a little smug today when I went back to the garage to book the car in to have the shocks fitted Fella didnt believe I got em so cheap so had to show him the receipt. Gonna cost about £90 for fitting. I would've fitted em myself but managed to badly burn the back of my right hand the other

ECP Rover 75 parts fit, but they arent the same. They are softer, even the shocks. Using them with ZT springs will result in a slightly bouncier ride because the car will be under damped.

I need rear shocks for my ZTT too, I think they are available from Rimmers, the part no. is on their website and showing as in stock.
I am however looking into replacing mine with BMW E46 3 series rear shocks, so watch this space. Unless anyone else has ventured down this road already? I haven't found anything on the forum to suggest it has been done. |
