Does anyone have pictures of a GXP with the ZOK package? I would like to see what the ride height is.

Its around 1.75 inches lower in the front, and most likely the same in the back

LOW!
The undernose spoiler is ~1 5/8" off the ground. The most vulnerable part is the exhaust, watch out for speed bumps!
Our dealer has to put blocks on the ramps to get ours on the alignment rack.
Send me your email addy and I'll send you some pix.

From the factory you get an option of color and if you want a spoiler - no radio, no air, no cruise, no nothing on the Z0K package.

Those of us who did the option package conversion might have air, a radio, and cruise (all allowed by Solo rules).

I pulled mine off the trailer and into the garage tonight. I'll post a pic tomorrow. I assume you want a standing picture and not an action shot - correct?

Yes a standing picture would be great. I have an 08 Brazen with AC, and the base radio, and am considering having my dealer add the ZOK package.

I wouldn't recommend it for street driving. I can't drive over speed bumps anymore, pull into my garage without ramps, and generally have to continually scan the road ahead for potholes and debris.

You are in MD? I'm going to be in Aberdeen at Ripken Stadium in a couple of weeks for a couple of autocrosses if you wanted to stop by and take a look for yourself.

But the scoop under the nose does a great job of cleaning up roadkill...

OK, low profile race tires, so the car is a little lower than with stock.

The second picture is with the camera sitting ON the ground with a great shot of the roadkill catcher.

Wow! You weren't kidding. There's no way you can go over ANY speed bump with the car that low.

Could someone who has purchased the ZOK package for the GXP seperately help me out? I would like to know the spring height difference front and rear, whether the spring rates are the same and whether the stock swaybars are smaller. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Cheers,

I didn't take measurements...

Swaybars - Both the front and rear are stiffer. The front is the same diameter but has a thicker wall thickness. The rear is of a larger diameter.

Front springs - They were visually 2 inches shorter, had less coils, and were of a thicker wire. I had a friend helping me install and he thought at the time we might have had the wrong springs.

Rear springs - These also were slightly shorter but I didn't put them side-by-side. But they looked to have the same number of coils and the wire looked to be of a slightly thicker diameter.
