ZT diesel front strut

[Richard1973]

When the weather starts to warm up it is my intention to change my 75 suspension to ZT as I much prefer the way a ZT goes around corners.

Is it possible to get a new front strut that is the equivalent of a ZT diesel setting?
Pretty sure originals are not available now but just wondering if there are any good aftermarket ones out there.

Drop mat at dmgrs a pm , he supplied me with shocks , springs and top mounts for my zt cdti.
Not got round to fitting them yet so cant comment other than that.

Don't forget to use NL5 as a discount code.

Does fitting a ZT rear anti rollbar to a 75 help ?

make sure you fit zt struts AND springs all around. The springs will drop the height and give a little more firmness (but from what I can see the struts in the rear seem to be the same, the fronts seem to be different, which I dont understand if the rears are the same )

The ZT rear subframe has solid bushes, and having a 75 subframe into the zt, I noticed a slight (read as minuscule) 'squidiness', and a very slight reduction of noise. Overall there is such little difference I am not complaining and wouldnt care either way. The ZT had thicker rear roll bars (not sure about the front), which I have been told is noticeable - mine has always been the thicker one, so cannot comment.

Some 75s had them fitted. There were heavier duty shocks (springs?) to compensate. The 75 had a thinner bar than the ZT and from what I have read, there is a noticeable difference between them - I cannot comment as I always had one. I can imagine however that a roll bar will make for a stiffer rear end, and will need a little time to get used to it if you drive hard into bends (not much time though lol). Whether it helps or not, will be determined by your driving style. Driving hard into corners, then yes, however you should be driving a ZT instead lol, a 75 is more a waft along and glide around the corners rather roll around them.
