I am getting ready to install these myself and was wondering if you have to make any modifications to the front OEM shocks? Does the rubber bump stop have to be trimmed? Anything like that. There are no you tube videos on our cars showing the install. Thanks for any help.

Nope just plug it in and your off. Alignment later once they settle. Only thing that happened was my compressor wasnt large enough for the swift springs

Thanks for the reviews and I am going to be installing mine this week on my 2024 Performance and I will follow up with a review after they settle in. I purchased the Z1 kit with the 25mm lowered spacer version. I still only have 200 miles on the car but I am hoping to remove the squat and dive from the stock setup. I installed the Z1 swaybar on the 2nd day of ownership and it made a massive improvement to handling. Gone is the initial dip when turning and it handles flat similar to my E92 M3. I love the similar before and after pics and I will try to do the same.

Shoot sorry fam. I forgot to come back and report. I installed the Swift Springs and some other goodies. I installed front and rear sway bars. I have them set to the mild setting. I also installed the mid chassis brace. I also installed adjustable end links. I am happy to report that I love how the Z drives now. I feel more in control while spirited driving. Cornering is smooth as well as braking. I also installed garage line 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers. Let me know what you think.

Unfortunately, that many suspension mods installed at the same time makes it impossible to evaluate how any single mod performed. Did you have the Swift springs installed earlier than the swaybars, for example?

No unfortunately. I did everything at once. I figured since I was gonna be taking things apart may as well do it all at once. I drove the car 2,000 miles before I did the work. I waited for the break in period to be over and it took 4 months to get the springs. I see where you are coming from tho.

It’s certainly BLACK Darth Vadermobile for the track.

Car looks incredible in that car show parking lot pic. If black cars always looked like that, I’d own one! Instead I’m lazy and mostly go with white now. It looks better on most cars that have black pieces all over them, in my opinion. If the cars were monochromatic or just done better I wouldn’t drive white cars.

Thank you. Sooooo I’ve always owned white cars. And now I know why. So I wanted a white Z went to the dealership and the white one I seen online had just sold. Mine was fresh off the truck and hadn’t been on the showroom floor for 24hrs. I fell in love with the black on red and pulled the trigger. I will tell you what. I love my car but I wish I had stuck with white. Shhhhhh she might hear me. lol. I am constantly wiping her down. Shoot at this point the car should be paying me. Thank you again.
