Big boss ur the man my new besty always helping me, haha also went to holmart, they said if u don't want to modify the rear bar, use the diffuser that suits it car, ex, berlina: berlina twin outlet, but I'm shattered about welding another hook,

Cool man glad to see you are getting it all under control, do you have a part number for that diffuser you got? also glad you found that other thread was going to link you to it, bit of a bummer about the welding though. It would be nice if you are planning to do the work if you could take some picks and maybe do a write up. Also how low do you plan to go? FE2? SSL?

Ye il put part number up a tad later n i got the defuser from Holden but The accessories from Holmart, I was told no welding necessary and u can bolt the diff hanger on ?????

Hey check out donkson's thread he has is all worked out :-)

ve ss wagon stock cat back exhaust on a ve berlina?

[BigBoss]

Oh and sl would look the goods but.... you would scrape quite often, and some people seem to think you need to do the shocks if you are going that low. because of that i am planning to only go FE2 about an inch lower than normal (stock on SS).

FYI be prepared for a long day . i lowered my ve on the weekend , a must to have the right tools . i even went out and bought a 24mm spanner just for the top of the struts. all in all its very rewarding to do it yourself , but it is a tough job . i found the rears were the toughest , the fronts were a piece of cake. make sure you have spring compressors and get on the cans to make it fun

Big boss I got my hanger from holmart, came as a double so I didn't weld anything and I might just go lows then on 19s or 20s

Sounds sick man, if you don't mind me asking what will the exhaust end up costing you?

[kizza50]

Do u have go change struts? If i went to super low in the rear and low in the front how would I go???
