Got the second rear shock swapped out tonight. Next time I will buy new bump stops and dust boots. Not that anything was wrong with mine, but because removing the old rusty RSM was the biggest pain in the ass I've experienced in some time. Admittedly it might've been easier had my bench vise not been 130 miles away in a storage unit.
I addressed a couple rust spots in the wheel wells while I was in there, and resprayed the entire area with fresh undercoating. Down in the land of 5 snow days per year, it should hold up for quite a while.

Talked my brother into buying a ZHP as his 535 replacement! Super excited, he's flying out to NC tomorrow and driving her back. Black on black, 6MT, sedan, winter package.
Don't have pictures yet but there will be plenty of brother-brother ZHP pictures in the near future![]()

I'll get a couple after work. I have them set around 60% firmness. They really felt great over the ~2 mile commute lol.
Ah, my old stomping grounds. I actually remember seeing a very clean black-on-black ZHP sedan periodically when I was in school. I wonder if it's the same one.

Nope, but hey at least the dampers damper now!
Probably subframe bushings or endlinks. I'm toying with the idea of pulling a carrier at LKQ, and pre-pressing the bushings. That way I can work at my own pace without the car in the air, and also replace what is arguably the rustiest part of the car.
