Makes a diff?

Doable?

How much for parts and labor (ballpark figure).

Thinking of a ZHP and feel I may want to soften the ride a bit for a daily driver.

YMMV, but I'm not sure there's that much in the difference to notice.

But at a shop rate of $80.00/ h, guesstimate its a 90 minute job either side (total guess). So maybe $240 plus parts. :dunno:

Like Wingspan said above, the ride is a little choppier but not much worse than the SP.

Not having driven a ZHP, I doubt the difference is that significant. The biggest difference is probably due to the 18" wheels - a set of 17" wheels would probably help the most. As for parts, you might find a person with a sport suspension that is will to swap parts with you to get those special ZHP goodies. The ZHP wheels would easily be exchanged with someone who wants 18"s.
