I am the person you're inquiring about. Most people who know me, know this screen name, not the real name on facey spacey.

I fly well under the radar on facebook groups.

ZZP strut tower bar - no waste of money. our struts are attached to the fire wall and inner fenders. Next to no flex.

ZZP rear bar - Rear sway bars def help, but I'd go with one that bolts through the bar. Not a fan of the brackets ZZP uses for their bar.

ZZP rotated mounts - back in the day they were proven not to be actually rotated. Maybe they changed that. If so, then snag them up. If not, pick up powells.

Thanks! I'll probably continue to post on this thread as I go along with my build. I just bought all new tires so yay winter

Question:
I was looking into installing a return style fuel system and just wondering if anybody has any reviews from zzp's current product. And if there's an installing guide with pictures somewhere. And I was wondering if you need to tune for it. Thanks!

You only need to tune if you hook up the vac port. If you don't connect the boost reference port, you can set the pressure to ~58psi and not make any other changes.

Any suggestions on what to do for my suspension? I hate the wheel gap so I was thinking to lower it a tad bit but wanting to keep the ride handling well. Maybe coilovers? What type of struts, shocks, etc.
Thanks!

go with coil overs if you wanna go low and have good handling. Some run konis struts/shocks with a lowering spring of choice. Those are nice too for moderate drop and good at the track.

I personally have stance coils.

check out thmotorsports.com or turbotechracing.com

most popular coil overs are BC racing or Stance coils. Some people run ksports... which are a couple hundred dollars less then the stance and BCs.

Any suggestions on what to do for struts and control arms? Mine started getting a little squeaky, but I'm guessing its just from the cold. OR if there is just a kit I can buy that basically replaces your whole suspension lol

I just replaced my struts and springs this past weekend, I went with Koni adjustable shocks in the rear, lnf oem front struts, and Ottp lowering springs. It's an amazing set-up.
