Hey Mark,

I'll be out of town this weekend, but you can call me if you run into any problems or have any questions. I haven't done a suspension replacement on a "Z," but I'm sure it's pretty straight forward.

Do you need to borrow my brake booster kit for flushing out your clutch and brake lines? Let me know, I head out on Thursday morning.

If the weather turns over the weekend, I could also be available to help out sometime later next week during the morning before I go to work.

I'm sure things will turn out just fine. One piece of advice, follow the Bentley manual and cross reference the realoem.com website if you have any question with regards to sequence of parts for reassembly. Hakan is also experienced with suspension replacement, he might be available for assistance.

Good Luck! Take LOTS of pictures and post them for the group! One final thing... take before AND after pictures, measure the spaces between the top of the tire and the bottom lip of the wheel well, I would like to see if there's a change in ride height!

It's suggested that you have a realignment service performed after replacement, but my car didn't pull at all afterwards, so I waited a little bit afterwards since it wasn't really a concern. Your car will definitely handle different after your swap, and an alignment will also help with performance and safety.

Once again, call me if you have any problems. Good luck and Take Lots Of Pictures!

We have our gathering this coming Tuesday, I hope to see you before you do the swap.

-Eric
