zook suspension
zook suspension
hey kids, jus wondering with all the sierra guros on here. what is the best suspension set-up to put under a zook?? currently i have SOA, efs 65mm rears with shackles, and 2'' rears up front with shackles. flexes pretty good but can always be better. any comments would be appreciated.

No need VR Rodeo - Picture a suzuki about 12" too tall 
I disagree that if some flex is good then more flex is better.
Personally, your car sounds so tall that its height (and therefore instability) will be its dominant characteristic. Other factors like balance and flex will be secondary. Personally, I think the best thing you could do for the capability of your car would be to put it back to SPUA. All the hight and flex in the world is pointless if it feels like it's going to fall over.
What advice were you looking for? Do you want to add more hectik flex or make your car better and better for what what sort of driving? Who do you drive with now? Are your mates outdriving you? What are they driving? What tyres are you running? what tyres do you want to run? do you crawl rocks or need to punch it on loose off camber climbs?
Better is a very loose term.

Re: zook suspension
runnings 31' baja claws, front n rear locked etc. the car is a toy nothing more i dont drive it everyday, drive it once every 2/3 months. not lookin to make it better as in more capable off road jus as a better suspenssion combo.. lookin for advise/guidance on a better path to go down and there probs is one? cheers any help.
Re: zook suspension
That hasn't made it any easier to understand what you want to achieve. If you don't want to make it more capable but you don't drive it on the road, what do you want to make "better"?
PS you do know those tyres will fit with stock suspension height and a 2" body lift? Or no lift at all and some cutting? That's a tiny tyre to run with all that lift, so if you asked me how to make it better, if not necessarily more capable, I'd say loose all the lift- you'll be able to drive all sorts of stuff you can't now just because of the stability.
