Washed the car. Actually cleaned the wheels properly for once. I always think I want to change the wheels but they just suit the car so well. That and you hardly ever see a car with them on that isn't a VF.

the wheels suit it nicely. Ever thought about lowering it?

Thought about it but to be honest I think it's perfect the way it is. Any lower and I would have to worry about getting over speed humps etc. Was such a hassle in the clubby to have to creep over and always worried about hitting the bar when parking. Really keen to get rid of the damn tow bar though. Such an eye sore but really can't be bothered taking the bar off unless I have a non damaged one to replace it with.

Fair enough. Vy/vz dont sit too bad when running anything up to 19" on standard springs. Once you hit 20's without being lowered it just looks like a 4x4.

Oh yeah for sure. If I do have to replace the suspension for whatever reason I will probably move to FE2 spec.

We are running FE2 spec on the VX Calais and I wouldn't go any lower, it's great not having to worry about scraping everywhere you go. Tow bars are bloody handy too.

im running sl at the moment but im running 20's. If I was ever to go down in size I would most likely go down to standard springs. SL on 20's is good but still need to worry about scraping on high gutters.

Phreddy modded headunit in. All ready for Mondays install. Was worried I bent the plug Phreddy puts on so measured the voltage on the RCA's. 3.6 volt average. Not bad at all. Keen as.

Phreddy was awesome to deal with and did an awesome job.

I haven't heard of Phreddy for ages, where is he situated these days?
Did you contact him through this forum?
He did the head unit in my senator years ago, great guy.
