    Please excuse my lack of knowledge, as much as i love zeds i'm not very technically minded!

    A little while ago i found this on on the internet

    I think it looks spectacular! Can anyone tell me what modifications have been made (aside from the obvious badge change etc) to make it look this way?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Coilovers, few adjustable suspension bits and wheels, guards would have been rolled too.

    Check out anti, mikey5555 and my zed, pretty similar theme.

    Thanks man, i have actually seen yours before and it's mad!!! Do you reckon this zed has any sort of bodykit? I though the front lip looked unusual

    The body is stock. It's an NA front bar - looks awesome right? I put one on my TT (with a FMIC). As dean said, heavily lowered and fitted too.

    Wow it looks awesome on your car! (i love the look of those wheels and wing mirrors as well!!)

    So did you lower your car with coilovers?

    Thanks!

    Definitely coilovers for this kind of height. What are your plans?

    Thanks!

    I should be buying my first zed in the next couple of weeks, i have a couple lined up to inspect soon. Then i want to lower it a bit (so it's still functional though) and get some maaaad wheels :D

    I know it's not particularly out there, but it's just a jumping off point!

    Driving at my height really isn't too bad, I daily'd it lower than it currently is now for almost a year before I got another daily. Slam it ;)

    When you get that low you need to be able to fine tune the height using the adjustment on coilovers. No lowering springs.

    Thanks for all your help guys :)

    I have to say, i'm jealous of both your rides having looked at the build threads! Hopefully i can match that some day :D

    If you get a chance try to get a forum member to help you with the inspection.
    Could save you a lot of hidden headaches and expense later.

    Thanks mate, i'll definitely try to. 2 of the zeds i've got lined up are currently owned by forum members though :)
