has anybody have Z10 radius rods????

I just installed the z10 radius arms last night. After installing them and making the initial adjustments described in the instructions I went for a test ride. Wheel hop and front end slack are definitely reduced. z10 reccomends 2 to 3 full turns (pushing rearward on the lower arms) from the neutral position. I started off at 2 and haven't had a chance to do anything more.

From what I know so far I'm happy with them. The second I pulled off after installing them I could feel a diffirence in front end stiffness.
And like I said wheel hop is drastically reduced with the minimum adjustment.

Installation was pretty easy. The lower radiator mounts were slightly in the way. I put on one side of the front bar and then jacked up the other side (not much) until it lined up.

I un-bolted the A/C coil before I drilled the hole for the center mount so I could 1. put the bolt in from the top and not have to deal with putting the nut on the top, and 2. To eliminate all possibility of damaging the coil.

This is on an EK. I'm sure installation varies.

I like them...

If so did it help your wheel hop? And one more question. Does it have clearance problems with I/C piping. Thanks all!!! The FMIC should be finished in less than 2 weeks. thanks for the feedback.
