My wifes previous 75 had a front snap on the drivers side so I changed both fronts for second hand ones and we never had another spring go. Changing all the springs is no small task especially as the front pinch bolts will be a *** if they have not been undone in years. The rears are a lot easier to change.
If you can afford it go for new all round and take the option to lower her if you want to. I think the ZT suits a lowered stance.
Only my opinion I am sure others will be along. I would not want to do the job with a bad back thats for sure  |
yes its what I was thinking go for lowered ... however the cost of a full set of lowered springs and the garage bill is going to be tight .. very very tight as I bought some new headlights and an upper inlet manifold already this month
I can do the full set of springs or the second hand ones and the garage bill but not both ...
on the connie I found the pinch bolts a piece of cake ..and they hadnt been touched in years
I guess its down tot he individual car
Ill give everything a good soaking in penetrating oil the day before anyway
