I'm really liking the double locking rings as well. It's nice to be able to adjust ride height without messing with preload.
I purchased the JTD shock mounts from Turner a few months ago because of their high praise for them. I was looking for a mount that was "stronger" than the stock BC mount. A plus to these, is that they have bushings that are replaceable and they are $15. Here's a link to the mounts.
Thanks for the kind words Charlie, I appreciate you spending some of your time to check it out. Keeping my ZHP well-maintained is essential to keeping it around as long as I plan to!

Had some extra free time today so I gave the interior some attention.
First, I took out the front seats
Then I vacuumed and cleaned the carpet up.
Installed the armrest delete kit I ordered from ECS tuning.
Also wiped down everything that I could and installed new trim clips after all of mine broke when I installed my bimmian cell mount. What a difference, it's back in there nice and tight!
Just waiting on my parking brake boot, shift boot and coby wheel re-wrap to come now!

Nice! How hard are the seats to
Remove? It looks pretty straightforward
Lots of snacks under those seats ey

Very straight forward! 2 bolts in back, 1 seat belt bolt and 2 nuts up front. All 16mm. I would undo the seat belt bolt first lol learned the hard way... Put the seat at its highest setting to get to it without any issue. Undo the rest of the bolts and then disconnect your battery. Disconnect the clip under the seat and pull 'em out!
Yes ha probably was the first time those seats came out of the car. Found a pile of stuff that looked like sawdust under the passenger seat...

Nice work. It's good to know your car is clean even where the sun don't shine.
Yup, even easier in a coupe: you can skip the seat belt bolt.
When I lived in Philly I moved some cut lumber in my car for a buddy. I kept finding sawdust months afterwards.
