lowering vt commodore

[hoarey85]

yea i've got super lows under my ride it has made a good amount of diff, i hav recently jus brought the camber kit for the rear aswell i got it for $200 brand new from bursons wholesale price though, i will fit it myself but if i was to get some1 else to do it i would be lookin at i reckon around 3hrs of labor, so it wwould make it a damn sight more expensive... but i got a hoist so it won't be to bad of thing to do, still alot of work though..

Hey ciaravt,

I went to a shock place yesturday asking the same thing.
He said they usually get tired round the 100k mark, which cinfirmed wot I thought.

Good excuse to go lower now!!!!

Geez those superlows are too low for me. I am happy with my FE2 suspension. It looks good, but the problem is my back mudflaps scrape over speed bumps and coming out of driveways now.

hey guys, my vt s2 has done 97 thou km's. im about to lower it, im using these spring parts.

Front - KHFL-47SL - (king spring superlows)
Rear - KHRL-46SLHD - (king spring heavy duty superlows)

have already decided that ill get a 4pt camber kit, and also new shocks (if anyone can help me and tell me wat type i will need for these springs, that would be good), but am not sure if i will need new struts, could someone plz let me know, and if i do, wat type will satisfy, those springs.

thankyou

just got mine back from the shop.

2.5 inches all round looks the goods! just needs the rear guards rolled REAL REAL bad.

the rear shocks are getting tired but will survive maybe a couple of months. so i fig ill get all 4 done.

anyone got any suggestions for the best shocks to use?

 

[EXCESSV]

Thanks for the help guys, yeh a camber kit is already lined up for when i get the springs put in also a front end alignment, i think superlows is the go as was said in another reply lows and superlows are the same price so might aswell just go superlows. thanks again

after you lower it and put the camber kit on, you will need both a front and a rear wheel alignment
