I don't know if any sedan owners have done it, but since the suspension is the same on a Street-Edition and an S2, I'd say the ZX-3 vs Sedan improvements would be comparable.
If you DON'T have a Street-Edition, there would still be improvement over stock, but for the money, I'd Add the SVT or S2 dampers, (I'm not sure of the cost difference, but the SVT's ARE a bit better), and Sway-bars,(SVT and S2 share the same parts here), plus the Poly-U rear end-links at the same time.(Save the double-labor)...
For the money, it's a GREAT step-up, as was the Poly-U Prothane "Tranny mount" and Front Control-Arm Bushing Swap. The improvement for the money spent was really NICE!!! [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
I'd recommend the ENTIRE swap for someone who wants to make their car more firm and responsive on a "Budget".
