Hi mate,

All you'll need is one of these:
KYB / Kings Commodore Lowering Packages!

Not too hard to fit if you know what you're doing, but ideally you'll need spring compressors. You won't need any camber gear as your car is live axle.

Cheers,
Greg

im only doing my back springs atm and im think about kings superlows or ultra lows dnt no witch wld be best

**groberr** · 19-02-2009, 09:11 PM

hye mate if you u wanna keep legal im pretty sure super lows are the lowest u can go. cant remember exactly how much lower thye make the car. you can jsut put springs in allthough it is recomended you put new shocks in, and installing them yourselfe is fairly straight forward but like the others said spring compressors are pretty much necasery

**MAC-VN** · 19-02-2009, 09:17 PM

someone help me out

**gslrallysport** · 23-02-2009, 10:42 AM

Mac,

Ultra Low (or any height) Kings springs are $135, and a pair of KYB shortened rear shocks to suit is $118.

Where abouts are you and I can give you an idea on shipping cost...

Regards,
Greg

im in vic melb how do u go about payments

**gslrallysport** · 23-02-2009, 12:13 PM

Shipping to Melb would be $15. Payments, either give us a bell on the number below, and I can do credit card over the phone, or else PM me your details, full name, delivery address (preferably work or business), contact number and email and I can fire you through an invoice with direct deposit details.

Regards,
Greg

does anyone here want to tell him he will require an adjustable panhard rod otherwise his tailshaft is going to be out of whack due to the diff being shifted over a few centremetres??

**gslrallysport** · 23-02-2009, 01:50 PM

He wouldn't be the first to do it without it, but yeah you're right.

Like Eliminator has said, to do it properly, you should be getting an adjustable panhard rod, allow about $175 for an on-car adjustable one...

**MAC-VN** · 23-02-2009, 02:12 PM

i have a live axles i dnt need

**ScoHar** · 23-02-2009, 02:16 PM

yes you do need because you have live axle diff, and don't just do the rears it looks rude when they're low as in the back and standard in the front, if you want it to look like that fill your boot up with bricks.

Ah, yep you do. It's only live axles that need it. Live axles have panhard rods, IRS's have camber kits. If it was only low springs, you can get away with it, but ultra lows (or super lows really for that matter) need adj panhard rods.

**MAC-VN** · 23-02-2009, 08:16 PM

is it a must have to have the panhead rod or can i go without it itwill it hurt

**Eliminator** · 23-02-2009, 08:45 PM

i did it for years and it will do but if you really like your car then do it

**MAC-VN** · 23-02-2009, 08:49 PM

what does it do anything noticeable by eye

IMO just judge the effect yourself when it's lowered. My VN is on ultra lows but only ended up with a few mill difference between each side. The 8" wide rims are under the guards but never rub over bumps or anything. Been going for years with the standard panhard rod.

**gslrallysport** · 24-02-2009, 09:37 AM

^ Yep, just lower it and see how it goes...

**hemi01** · 09-03-2009, 12:55 PM

Don't forget to do the front as well. Otherwise you'll get crap fuel economy from driving uphill all the time. And with ultra, ultra lows you won't see over the bonnet.

**MAC-VN** · 09-03-2009, 01:54 PM

this guys on drugs for sure
my mates got the cars on ultra on back n normal fronts and they see fine
to ur info i will be doing front later on

**ViN3Y** · 09-03-2009, 02:17 PM

mac the vn dont seam to have much of a problem with rubbing my mate lowerd his 8 onto superlows last week they look mint hasnt scrubed out on the gaurds but he has bottomed out up a few driveways due to large curbs...
although i had my VR done professionally and tis just my oppinion pay the few extra dollars and have some1 do it for you its much better
