Time to put some time and coin into the old girl. Wheels and suspension are gone and have brought a set if original 18x8 wheels. As for suspension I'm unsure which way to go. Kings, Pedders Lovells, then there shocks,KYB Monroe. I'm after a little lower than standard. Top of front tyre to sit...

Thanks for the reply mate. Doing a oil change tomorrow with nulon 10-40. Seeing that I'm not going to be doing alot of driving (it currently unregistered) would Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer help with keeping a layer of oil to protect seals, bearings and other moving parts? I'm putting...

Vx ls1. Cheers Mate.

I have always liked this model and when I find out that there was only 45 R8s built I had to have one. Pick up an unmolested 15th Anniversary R8 a few months back. Only mods are wheels and suspension, which I'll be going back to original. It's currently unregistered and will probably stay that...

Well guys I've been here for a few years now and over the years have changed a few cars, between me and my wife we have gone from a VX wagon to a VE sedan and now I've a 15th Anniversary r8 that I'm not selling. Even though I don't post often I wanted to let you guys know that I do pop in to...

Well after a long time I finally got around to changing these shockers. Got a set of the superpro bushes and a good price on a full set of Monroe GT Sports. Car sits a little higher in the front now, but drives much better even the Mrs noticed a decent different. One of the front ones was...

I'm wanting to do this to my wife's VE omega series 1. Those that have done this how is it holding up? Is no limit still the place to go in Melbourne? Is it a plug and play set up, or is the more involved? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance.

Thanks mate. I personally like to use genuine stuff unless they are completely rubbish. I think genuine top mount bushes with a affordable short travel shock. It's the wife's car, she's not lead foot, just need it to work.

OTE=Troy711;2815817]Factory strut top bushes are rubbish at the best of times, even with stock suspension. That being said, decent shocks are also what you need, running springs as low as yours certainly wouldn't be doing factory shocks any favors. I was given a cheap set of new standard...

Evening all. Having some issues with my wife's VE. Have had SSSL in for about a year and have destroyed the top mount bushes. Is this because of the bush, do they need to be a better quality or are short travel shocks needed here. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. Well that's what I wanted to do, but how the hell do you unplug the driver side plug, it goes up over the tranny? Is this fault P0056 fixed with a new sensor.

Hi all, I've being using this forum for some time now every helpful. I have since sale my wagon and got back into a 4WD, but the wife still has her 06 VE which we brought 2 years ago. Now. It has put a fault code P0056 Heater control circuit bank 2 sensor 2. Just to confirm that's the...

Thanks dude. I've got to get a set of sssl springs for the front and then fit all 4 to the car. I've seen them for $130 each. First springs then tyres and alignment. Anyone else with feedback on these tyres ??????

Sorry I know where to find them, I was referring to the quality/performance of the tyre.

I'm looking at these for the wives VE how do you find them for a cheapie tyre.

That's what I thought. Cheers

Sorry in advance but I just need to get conformation. I'm going to lower my wife's omega 2006 v6 sedan. I was given a set of part number KHRL152SSSL (rears) king springs which I was told are for a v8 model. I've checked the king springs website and the same part number is for both the 6 & 8. I'm...

Well I've gone back to the commodore after many years. This one is a VX V6 wagon, pretty much standard and will be the family wagon to tow our camper and get us to most of our camping spots. Onto the Question. On the firewall just behind the tranny dipstick there are 4 hoses, 2 look...
