Well after a few weeks of hard thinking on what to buy or not to buy... I finally settled on the car i initally wanted, before i got side tracked again...!!

Car is totally std not a single mod with one old gent owner from new :)

6 speed manual 106k fsh

Plans are stiffen the suspension (not lower it).
Extractors and full exhaust system..

Then thats it for now its nippy enough at the moment with 297kw from the factory...!!!

Firstly nice pick up, although I am bit biased.
On your suspension since you don't want it lower can I suggest you fit good quality adjustable shocks like Koni's or Bilstiens plus a bigger rear sway bar instead of heavier springs.
After years of bone jarring suspensions I decided my senator would keep its boulevard ride but I wanted it to handle as well.
So I fitted it with some Koni Yellow Sports adjustable shock/struts along with a 18mm rear sway (HSV Z's already have a 28mm front bar) and couldn't be more happier with the result and mine has softer springs than your Clubby.

Very nice mate, love the VZ Clubbies. That looks like a very clean example you picked up.
You'll want more. 297fwkw will net you around 240-250rwkw. As stated above, exhaust, OTR and tune and you've got a pretty decent street street weapon.
Well done again.

Nice pickup mate! Love the VZ clubbies, hoping to get my hands on an R8 sometime next year.

As suggested, window tint is a must, increase tuffness factor by atleast 2.3...... million! :p

Good luck with the planned mods!
