    Default Lowering Vn's - Help

    Hi,

    Ive just recently purchased a Vn Calais, and was wondering if i could ask for some help and tips when lowering it. Im planning on fitting Ultra lows on the rear, with shortened shocks, and super lows on the front. Ive only ever replaced a spring in my torana before, but apart from that, ive never really dealt with the commodores them selves. I have Solid axle on the rear, and radial tuned suspension at the front. Also are spring compressors necessary?

    Thanks, Nathan

    You don't need spring compressors for the back (i didn't) but for the front yes. If you have changed spring before then you'll be right at home changing them on the VN. But you will need a wheel alignment when you are done.

    You need to buy an adjustable panhard rod. Once you lower the car the rear axle moves to the left so you need to adjust the panhard rod to move it to centre.
