    Default Vs struts and shocks

    hi guys

    i recently brought a VS II Clubsport, and have been looking at replacing the shocks and struts its currently running KH46 SSSL in the rear and im not sure what in the front ( springs covered in sound deadener/ paint) car sits pretty level, but what im wondering what shocks and struts some of you guys would recommend to suit. See pic for ride height

    Hi mate,

    You're best option with lowered Commodore is either Boge or KYB, and both make dedicated shortened shocks to suit lowered springs. Same price in either brand, $145 each for the front, and $69 each for the rear. Delivery to you $12.

    go KYB, better shocks than the monroe and they also make adjustable shocks so you can adjust how hard the ride of the car is, which is good if you want a comfortable car that you can drive everyday and a car that will handle on the occasional track day

    Depends on your coin. First you have KYB, their your cheap lowered option, for around $375 you get front struts and rear shocks. Next youll have your monroe gt sports series. $380 for a full set. Then if your really serious you have your Tein. Around the $2400 mark. Personaly i would know about each quality as iv only used stock and just ordered the monroes yesterday (hence why i know the prices). But going off what a mate had told me (hes used all three) he said good value for money would be the monroe.

    But you should hear other peoples suggestions and do some research of your own to figure out what you want to get.
