No trouble used mounts, gearlinkage, driveshafts from the ZR just had to remove one bracket that was spot welded on the passengers inner wing to mount the PG1 gearbox mount

Went over to Avo Suspension today and picked up a set of these which should help the handling a fair bit (i hope)....

I went for a set of R1's with B&G adjustable top mounts which are the entry level race units with single bump/rebound. I didnt see the point of paying another £1000 for the R2's with Independant bump rebound adjustment as i cant image i would be able to fine tune them enough to get the very best out of them.

I 've always found that thicker front ARB gave me better turn in but when you use heavier duty springs it often negates the need but you lose the suspension compliance. I always found that the ZS 19/20mm ARB gave enough control for the road as it seemed to help the turn in.
On the track it may be different.
