Finally got the wishbones and M lolly pops fitted today, all went well until I decided to drive the car home, OMG it was so bloody dangerous, couldn't keep it in a straight line, steering was as light as a feather and no chance of getting around a bend safely, luckily Bush tyres is only around the corner so headed straight there at a very gingerly pace, they got the Z straight in and 20 mins later the laser alignment was done, the guy said it was a mile out,
Thats all the front end done now, drop links, arb bushes, springs, struts and wishbones, It feels like a new car, I took it for a spirited drive and corners like a dream, in fact I felt that I was going to slow, so thats the test drive done for @t-tony cruise as looking at the group I am in I can imagine its going to be a pretty spirited drive to say the least,

Sounds like another significant improvement mate :thumbsup:.
I may look at replacing the front control arms as well, I already have powerflex lollipop bushes to fit at some point.
While we were in Scotland @Nodzed treated me to a drive in his lovely //M which I so enjoyed as everything felt so more responsive and steering especially so much lighter than mine. This resulted in me falling out of love with my zed for a few days :(.

May be a steadier pace on Sunday Sean as I have lower back pain :meh:........but you can overtake ;).

Luckily it's "just" back ache for me and not the dreaded sciatica ........phew.
