First "real" drive since I installed ZCP struts/Dinan springs and got it aligned. All I can say is wow! The car is so much more composed and confidence inspiring now. It's exactly what I was looking for even though the ride height in the front is a little higher than my previous EDC/Eibach setup. Now I've got a complete faux-ZCP

wyatth · 09-26-2020, 07:45 PM

^ Fantastic setup and great shots. Curious to see more pictures, as it looks like the front is a tad higher than stock ZCP. How do the Dinan springs feel/look compared to your mom’s ZCP?

I just measured from the bottom of the rim to the highest point on the front fender and I'm a hair under 613mm which is spot on with OEM ZCP spec. Dinan says 1/2" lower on a non-ZCP which should get me about 3mm lower than ZCP, but 3mm is a pretty minimal difference either way. Maybe they'll settle a little bit more.

Regardless of the drop, or lack thereof, I love the feel. I wouldn't say it's night and day compared to OEM ZCP but maybe 10% better. If I had to guess I'd say most of the improvement comes from slightly higher spring rates than OEM ZCP. I'm not sure what the actual spring rates are between the two, but the Dinan springs feel stiffer. Not stiff enough to be harsh, but stiff enough to provide some additional response. I also appreciate that my car handles mid-corner bumps better than OEM ZCP. I attribute that to the shaved top mounts/bumpstops and I also added the Dinan rear upper shock mount kit for more travel. To me the overall feel with the Dinan springs is a bit more confidence inspiring than OEM ZCP.
