Demonic1; so what you mean to see is those are for me? The zx2's.

Nooo.... those are going to be installed once I get the Energy Suspension bushings. I also picked up the zx2 LCA rear bushing receivers. Because slow-kart.

I am not sure what the ZX2 link offers as an upgrade? But I will throw my $0.02c worth in here in case it might be of some help. Have you considered the other option (opinion) which is available a little closer to home for you?

The Mazda Lantis (323F) trailing link is very close to the same dimension (mounting point centre to centre) as the Eunos Presso Trailing link. While I haven't fitted up my set up yet, it looks like it "mocks up" to be identical in that length dimension by my assessment.

The positioning of the mount points, on the trailing link, for the handbrake cable is identical (Lantis to Presso). The mounting point at the chassis end is about 34mm across (same as the Presso) and with the correct Presso bushings fitted will slide in no problem, The mounting point at the strut end is only 44mm across (less than the Presso) but packing can be inserted (between the strut mounting and the inner face of the link bushing) to space the link out to the correct alignment.

Take a look at the attached pictures

Ignore the width of the bushing shown at the chassis mount end of the link. That overall bushing width will most certainly NOT fit within the chassis mounting point as is. I will not be using those bushings.

The ZX2 are more sturdy and thicker. Sort of swaybar upgrade for the trailing arms.

Thanks for your comments though, might inform at the 323f club if they use any upgrades
