Glad you bumped this. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on these. My suspension has 120k original miles on it, so I can't wait.
There seems to be some confusion out there about whether or not these would work with the ZHP/sport suspension. It turns out that there is a specific product number for a set tailored to the lower suspension: 8745 1022LKT. Maybe the "L" is for lowered? I see them at Turner and ECS for $526.64. That's a pretty sweet deal.
My only hesitation is because I'm still on the fence regarding whether or not I want to lower the stance a little. These should be stock height. Based on how noisy and crappy the suspension is right now, I think I'll be ecstatic either way.
They’re great, they ride really nice on the highway!
The Red looks nice too

Thanks. I agree with you 100%. I wasn't clear in my previous post... I'm on the fence on whether I want to keep the original springs and use the Special Active kit or go with something like Koni Sport or Bilstein B8 and lowering springs. Definitely leaning towards keeping my springs and getting the Special Actives though.
BTW, I like how the black grills stand out on imola red. I have them on my black coupe for now.
Just ordered mine for total of $498 fronts from europarts and rears from tire rack ............
Damn, that is a good deal ^
Very glad I stumbled apon this post. The FSDs are (were) my favorite for the ZHP and has been on my to do list for awhile.
Do you know if these maintain the stock ride height of the ZHP suspension, or do they lower some?

That is a killer deal. I paid $523 for the FSD kit and that was after stacking 4 different discounts/coupons on top of the sale price.
The ride height is determined by the springs and these shocks/struts are a direct replacement for the OE, so no change in ride height.
Just to throw in my experience... Koni FSDs are the best for ZHPs driven in town and on the highway.
The Koni yellows are a bit stiffer more like bilstein HDs.
Koni FSDs are so smooth for in town driving however immediately stiffen up when cornering hard. These make the ZHP ride better than a new 3 series. Add Michelin AS3s or PS4s, e63 M6 seats and the ride is phenomenally smooth!
I have done all of this and added a front dinan strut bar and now I would rather have my zhp vs a new 3 non-M series.
