Soon I will be upgrading the suspension and installing Bilstein PSS-10s with Ground Control Camber kit which have been sitting in my garage since the beginning of March...
Next should be the SGT CSL bootlid for sedan install as I recently got confirmation from Mike Miggs at Status Grupe Tuning that my order will be ready for shipment soon...
Then I will be looking to install an AutoSolutions SSK into the ZHP this summer as well as a Wilwood BBK. Lots going on with the ZHP this car season....
The delay in installing the coilovers is because this upcoming weekend I am refreshing the brake system on my Porsche with new rotors, brake pads and caliper hardware...then once I have that sorted I can put the ZHP into my Porsche garage and start focusing on mods....

Up for a meet. And Charlie, you're always welcome back out. OP, I know you have an awesome setup but I also have a lift (that I got from Hieu) so happy to host as well. John

Great call on the PSS10. Not sure if you care or not, but I have a buddy who is a suspension freak. And when I say freak, I mean he looks at suspension geometry, ride frequency and etc. He is actually looking into what spring rates I would need to achieve a "flat ride" frequency for the E46. (For those that are interested, please watch Fat Cat Motorsports video on flat ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpax2pMDGdw). Over the counter kits work great, but dialing in the suspension with spring rates to match the valving is just amazing. Once I get some info from him, I'll be happy to share that with you. We might get lucky and Bilstein has the proper spring rate, might be where we just need to only change the front or rear.Soon I will be upgrading the suspension and installing Bilstein PSS-10s with Ground Control Camber kit which have been sitting in my garage since the beginning of March...

Look forward to some changes to your ZHP though
How long have you owned the car now?

Got to see what's going on with all these COVID restrictions before thinking about flying out anywhere these days.... it's not like the pre-COVID days where we could just fly out without having to worry about catching some serious virus... those days are gone unfortunately...
Please keep me informed. Always good to share good info with everyone!
Thanks! I rescued this ZHP from it's previous owner in July of last year so that makes it 10 months of ownership for me now. If you look at the first post you can see I have done a lot to this car in the short time I have had it.... with more to follow...Look forward to some changes to your ZHP though

I have the new suspension sitting in my garage in it's box. I purchased my kit from FCP Euro

The Ground Control Camber kit came from Sockethead here on the forum so they will be incorporated into my coilover kit and then installed.

Right now with maintenance I have currently planned I am figuring I will start on my ZHP in two weeks. Once I begin the process of setting up my new coilovers to the Ground Control Camber kit and install them into the car, I will document the entire process from start to finish. I have always wanted Bilstein PSS-10 coilovers but admittedly, too cheap to pony up the coin to purchase them. Not this time
As much as I have been hearing from Botond over the years just how good these coilovers are for our ZHPs, it's about time I find out for myselfI'm looking forward to removing these cheap $300 coilovers Tyler installed before I rescued this ZHP from him. I still have lots more I want to do for this car before I am totally satisfied.... but then that's a deep Rabbit Hole and I realize that I have already jumped into it and am free-falling.
There will be lots more in store for this gem
