Just ordered some clear indicators. Should make it look cleaner

Very clean mate, I love white s-packs.

Lower it a little and try to get your hands on some red SS stripes, it'll look even better.

Hmmm yeah definitely need to get it lowered, but I kinda want to keep it stock. I like the S stripes better. I'm saving for an SS for when I get off my P's. So not a lot of money is going into this car

[VS-S]

Scrubbed up my wheel nuts yesterday to hopefully get them back to shiny new. No success so buying 16 new ones tomorrow.

Looks good mate

[VS-S]

OK Went to Sprint Auto and they aren't getting any till Monday :/ Got my clear side indicators today and just installed them. Makes the car look so much better! Best $27.50 I ever spent.
Oh yeah 16 years of dirt build up underneath the indicator.

[VS-S]

Looks good mate

Thanks. Slowly adding little things to make it better without spending serious cash

Ah damn! Haha oh well. VZ looks mint anyway.
VS is really dirty at the moment. Too much crappy weather

Thanks man. You don't like the wheels I have on it now? And I'll be lowering it maybe in a week or so. Gotta get some time. (I'm not doing it though, getting my mechanic to do it.

[VS-S]

Still no wheels nuts yet...should be tomorrow (hopefully)

No worries. they Arnt to bad but some nice 18s or 19s would look sweet.. why Arnt you lowering it yourself?? save yourself money and DIY.. That way you can use the extra money and buy some more mods instead of putting it in someone elses pocket.. its piece of piss to do

I don't know how to do it. I don't have anyone who knows how to do it to help me...
What wheels would you suggest I have a look at? VY sigs?

[UW1SH]

Have you had a look at the suspension to suss it out??? the rears are piece of piss you will be able to do them without a drama.. pretty much just 2bolts each side (shock absorber) and the front is a couple extra… il see if i can get some pics of what bolts to undo in my car to help you out a bit.. well its your choice on what wheels you think you should get there are heaps of rims out there that suit VR/VS models. just go to google and search vs with rims or something along those lines and there will be lots of vr/vs models with different rims on there that you can pick but i cant find my favourite ones and im not to sure what they are called lol...

Nah haven't had a look yet. Does it make a difference with IRS?
I'm pretty happy with the wheels that are on it now, but I'll have a look around to see if anything gets my attention.

[UW1SH]

Im not 100% sure if it does but im guessing it should be similar.. just undo the 2 bolts that hold the shocks in and u can push down on your diff which will allow you to just pull the spring out.. well thats what its like on live axle but maybe irs you might be able to push the axle down and not the whole diff.. take some pics and il have a look… the front you undo the top bolts on the strut top under the bonnet then there are 2 massive bolts that are bolted to a bracket thing behind the disc and then it just comes out but make sure you twist the brake hose off the struts tho

[HAZZA-VN]

Its different with IRS you need to take the shock of to do it properly and best use spring compressors so you dont have a spring under tention fling out and smack you in the leg while your jumping on a jack handle. If you go to a place like BURSONS use to be motor traders you get the parts pretty cheap, my springs cost me

$115 for the rear King springs any size
$99 for the front king springs
Front struts were $106 each
Rear where $103 for the pair
Ended up costing me $530 i did it all myself so thats all it cost and ill align it myself at work as im an aligner.

You may not get it that cheap but normally if you go via a mechanic or pedders they put at least 15/20 % markup on everything plus fitting, so your best just buying parts and getting them to fit them. Also id also make sure when its lowered it gets aligned by someone who adjusts camber not just some clown who toes cars up and thats it.

If someone that knows what there doing does it you dont have to worry about it falling apart on you its all done properly and at once, and normally you can get an alignment cheaper when you get the person to fit them. Check your swaybar links as well while its apart if there not to crash hot might be worth while changing.

I was looking at this kit on ebay.
$620 posted is pretty good, prob another $120/$150 to have it fitted and aligned as well
