Hey bro, nice pic of the 2 commodores from behind
In that last pic is your car sitting on SL springs with shortened shocks in the rear? How much lower than standard is it sitting? because ive been told that with SL springs they will sit 50-60mm lower?

nice car

[Maxxiz]

Sorry mate, havent checked this thread in a while. Yep, SL's in back with shortened shocks. Its sitting about 5cm lower. Im really happy with the rear height, just need to get the fronts in.
Im also now driving so get rid of the L Plate

[ryan23]

Hey mate sweet ride. Just wondering what rims they are?

[Maxxiz]

Cheers mate,
They're VX GTS Replicas, 19"

[Maxxiz]

Update:
Front springs are finally in! Still settling however..
Also, bought some new wire to completely do-over my sound system. Bought a 500w RMS mono amp to run a new sub when I find one. Using my old 600w Max 4ch amp to run speakers once I buy the setup out of Sweefu's boot. So the 2 gauge wire is in now just gonna put the setup in and then speakers and should be sweet.
Pics of Front springs in (Have gone a little bit lower now though). Also had an empty tank, the rear looks quite a bit better on a full tank.




And a long exposure shot I reckon looked pretty cool

[Maxxiz]

Todays Mod went something like this:
*Huge Scrape*... "Oh shit that couldn't of been good"... *Accellerate*... *Hear loud exhaust, think it is car behind me*... *Realise its me*... "shit".
Long story short I ripped by exhaust in half :/
So "Exhaust" may have just gone up in the priority list....

[Maxxiz]

Todays mod, solution to last weeks mod.
Ordered a new zorst. 2.5" Mandrel bent cat back Shud b a bit of an improvement to my old stocky/stocky ripped in half haha.

[Maxxiz]

Finally got the new exhaust in, sounds awesome Also changed fuel filter today. Made the most of having a hoist

[Maxxiz]

Running great now, got my other Sub in, also in the last few days or so have changed fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, changed oil and flushed coolant (If you could call it that, flushed brown sludge i should say..)

[impulsive]

nice car you got there mate welldone!

[Maxxiz]

Cheers mate

[vn_v6]

how much them rims set u back mate? i got same ones just 17s, kikin myself i didnt go 19

[Maxxiz]

Hey mate I paid about $850 with decent tyres on them, yeah thats why I chose the 19's, anything smaller generally looks too small for these cars. Although you wont be kicking yourself when its time for new tyres :P

[Maxxiz]

Installed blue footwell LEDs today, they're actually really good Pics:
