Yea the simmons are mint. The tint needs to be done but not urgently.

Are those real Simmons? or those replicas yeah i would say maybe some plasti dip badges if that's your thing...

Agree those wheels are an improvement. Doing the windows will match them.

Loooooooooooove the Odyssey. My Lumina was the same colour, its what brought me to the forums....

Good times.

Yes they are real simmons. There are 2 types of simmons, the 3 piece and 1 piece simmons. These are the 1 piece simmons. The 1 piece simmons go for around $2000 where as the 3 peice simmons go for around $4-5000.

How much did changing the rear springs from ssl to sl raise your car?
Currently got ssl in the rear and picked up a set of SL's..
Got 19" rims on it and can't have any passengers in the back cause tyres rub. Car is at about 75mm clearance.

When I had ssl's in the car I couldnt put a coke can under the side skirt at the rear. When raising to SL I can now fit a coke can under the muffler of the car.

This was my car with ssl in the rear.


Now this is my car with sl in the rear.

I have to agree, I also had SL front, SSL rear when I bought my car, sitting on 19s. I changed to SL rear, as SSL was too low and scraped everywhere, tyres scrubbed if any weight in the back. With SL it's perfect, SSL does look a bit better but it still sits really nice on SLs.

The Calais looks good Vegemite, i like those wheels.

I agree that ssl looks a lot better but it was just impractical
