Hey Tazzazuk,
Im no expert but I heard that you shouldn't grease leaf springs as mud & dust sticks to it, causing the metal to 'pit' (?) and grind away. Maybe powdered graphite might work but its probably best to find better springs and use rubber bushes.... and WASH underneath often if you use it at the beach!
What suspension have you got on your zook right now?

It is a SWB car you will never gget a fantastic ride out of it. OME springs are great and the Dakar range are a good budget range. There have been many discussions about spring choise etc on here have a bit of a search around and see what you can find

Ditto Grimbo's advice, the OME Dakar range is now the only Sierra suspension they supply (I was told anyway) Its cheaper, its still 2" lift and the quality is still the same as you would expect from all OME stuff

Im getting medium's all round @ $107 each with nitro shocks $120 each
