Holden vs lowering spacers

[comvs95]

i have ultra low spring whic will drop 75mm, what i wanna know is, if there is such thing as a spacer i can put in so not that dramatically low

[Jonnii]

Yea its called super low springs

[comvs95]

i want to go, lower then them, but not as low as ultra lows

[woteva]

The spacer would have to be specially machined so that the spring still locates correctly. I don't think there is such a thing available. Just get some super low springs and get the re-set by a suspension workshop.

get sum super lows compressed

[old mate]

i don't think they are made for commodores but the concept is out there and used in lots of 4wd's.

I had a bit of spring sag on the left side so that when I hit a bump my tyre would scrub on the wheel arch. Fulcrum fitted a 10mm spacer to fix it, and all good, so it can be done.

Buy lovells superlows. Arent they between most other super/ultra lows?

Can someone tell me what Spring - pad means on page 42 of 120? Its got a few different sizes. Not sure if they're pads that go under the spring to raise it maybe?

[Maxxiz]

Get some compressed superlows. If you got IRS ill swap you mine?

For the rear, get some thicker rubbers out of the back of a VN. these will only gain you 10mm or so.

[mischa]

You can get nolathane spring rubber things, i dont know what you call them but they sit under the spring. Newer and nolathane ones have to give it a bit of a raise.

Get airbags. Can go high and low as you please then.

Agreed, airbags FTW.

As mischa has said, Nolathane has spring seats or spacers. Had them in my VS Calais with no issues whatsoever. They have 6mm and 10mm thick rings that sit under the spring to raise the whole setup. Replaces the often worn out factory spacers.

Two key points to consider;
a) Unsure of legality but would not surprise me if they are a defectable item, or if they fail a roadworthy.
b) My Calais had IRS. I'm assuming you're referencing to the Executive mentioned in you're ride which may have a Live Axle. Unsure if they'll suit, so ask first.

were /who dose the utra lows 4 a vs as mine has superlows and it needs to b way lower

[slammedvz]

get some pump up shockers, there like 250 bucks and then when your loaded up you can out some air in them and still have it where you want, i put them in my vz.

[johnsy_vs]

get super lows and cut em :P nah just kidding. What springs would i need for my tyres to be just on the arch line (so i can just see tyre)?

[wraith]

Depends on what size rims your running. I have super lows all round and it's about 2 cm's off the tyre all round when full of fuel. Rim's are 15" ceptors.

Only new to this guys, Need a bit of help, i brought a set of 20,s for my vs calais, they fit perfect on the back but on the front they scrape on the guard that the spring sits in, i put 8 mil spacers on them but still not enough, if i go 12,s it will scrape my guard, any ideas i how i can fit them without them hitting the spring cover?????

[axemurderer101]

first of all nice thread dig lol and your post has nothing to do with the thread anyway so your would be better off starting your own thread.

as for your question you might have to get coilovers. someone might have a better idea but thats all i can think of, that way you can remove the spacers so the wheels wont rub on the guards and the coilovers dont have that large spring seat so you wont have to worry about it rubbing there.

[glenn l]

you need raised upper spring insulators, you can get them in a 5mm and a 10mm raise, there just a taller version of the factory insulator, they go on the top of the spring to the body.
nolathane, superpro, whiteline and pedders do them in polyurethane and pedders also do them in rubber.
i have a 10mm pedders rubber set here you can have for $40.00 if interested.
