The paddles extend further down than OE so they are easier to grab. What I don't like about them is that they do not extend higher than OE.

Over the last couple years I've been going back and forth about doing the swap because they often turn into nightmares. With the recent depression of the Z platform, I stopped giving a F#ck and just went for it. Nothing better than looking at your pride and joy all tore up. LoL

What stuck out in my head was if I'm doing the swap then I'm gonna build a beast.

Was wondering when you was going to do a build thread.

gbrettin · 01-06-2019, 11:36 AM

I forgot to post a few items that I had.

Z1 Master Cylinder Brace
Z1 High Capacity Rear Diff Cover(I'm dreaming for a different diff... ) - I'm looking into getting a rear diff brace from Royalty Performance that was specifically made for the Z1 high cap cover.
Z1 Sub-frame collars
Turbo Werx Pump. - The turbos will be mounted lower in the car so I'm not taking any chances with the drain.

gbrettin · 01-21-2019, 05:16 PM

Ordered Royalty Performance diff brace. I'm guessing that the Z1 diff case would crack if there wasn't bracing. The SOHO billet diff case is a bit rich for my taste.

Rusty · 01-21-2019, 05:43 PM

Would like to see how that brace is mounted to the sub-frame.

A few pictures should be floating around on FB.

I seen those. And they don't show the sub-frame mounting.

Will this or the Z1 brace fit with the MA rear diff cooler installed as well?
