help me make my commi handle betta
hey can u guys tell me whats the best thing to buy to make my vp handle better besides coilovers

lower springs, stiffer shocks, bigger sway bars, urethane or at least new rubber bushes, etc.
Carbon Positive - DO IT!!
yep: new bushes, bigger sway bars, short shocks. will help
no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone
Just hand me the pliers.
why not coil overs? I want coil overs.

probably because prebought stuff is too dear for some people.
but with access to a welder and grinder, i was able to make a set with adjustable shocks for under $1000(minus labour and strut tops)
coilover sleeves and spring tops = $160 from uk
350lb 8" springs = $150 from uk
koni adjsutable front strut inserts = $600(i think retails around that) from toperformance
swap out the adjustables and you'll save a few dollars. welding wasnt much involved, just welding the threaded sleeve to the strut housing, and i got shorter strut inserts, so theres a weld join hidden under the sleeve.
So Wet For You!
Take one VP Calais International, add springs/shocks, strut brace.
Job done

i know you can buy a kit somewhere in aus to convert standard struts to coil over much like in the pic above. not cheap though. can't beat a coil over setup for handling

sorry to hijack but why do coilovers handle better than a standard setup?
obviously its the design but what part of it makes it superior?
