Wich z0k suspension to use ? base zok or gxp zok
?????? wich z0k suspension springs and bars to pick for my upgrade.
My solstice is a no option 2006 (at all.....)lightweight base model that i would like to upgrade to zok specification.
zok base and zok gxp seems to share the FE3 dampers but have different part number for springs and different part # for sway bars.
if the car was stock, i would easily choose the zok package for the ssb (2.4l na ).
but since my car is now ddmworks supercharged should i go with the zok pkg for the ssb(base 2.4l) or the T2 class zok package for the gxp ?
does the addition of the ddmworks pkg (supercharger,intercooler,header
and hiflow cat ) bring more weight to the front that my car's balance is closer to a gxp. or the weight difference is minor due to the removal of the cast iron manifold and the fact that my car has no option at all...
all in all , should i buy zok gxp springs and sway bar or should i buy
the zok (base 2.4l) springs and sway bars ?
i really do not know if the zok gxp package was a setup made for the difference in the 4 corner weight balance of the slightly heavier gxp or more geared for the higher cornering speed of the turbo version in race trim.
any input or suggestion welcome.
thanks

i do not want a pkg that look cool (read in da weeds low) but doesn't work. i want to drive the car hard on country road with confidence but without spending big $$$ for coil overs that i will probably fight to death to tune properly on public roads.
is the gmpp pkg a better option or is it mainly geared for autocross and too stiff and not as nicely tuned for road racing.
all in all, not too much concerned by comfort level, but really concerned about having the best grip on curved, bumpy and cracked public roads. with occasionnal track days at a couple of very nice racetrack around here.
looking to add the backbone brace to the combo but still undecided as for the ddm brace or zok crossmember.
since i also need dampers , i am afraid to use the koni instead of the fe3 bilstein because i have heard that the car will sit roughly 1.0-1.5" lower than the stock zok ride height because of the way the bilstein are pressurized. is this true ?
