    Default Replacing VTs1 rear with VZss

    Will this work? Someone is selling VZ SS ute independent rear suspension set up minus handbrake, k-frame, springs and shocks.
    I plan on using my springs and shocks, i assume my handbrake will be compatible. Will this be a straight swap AND will it solve my camber issue?

    Also will the LSD 3.46:1 ratio mess up much in the way of my speedo?

    it CAN be done, just like most things. But it's a dead set waste of cash.
    no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone

    Well i was quoted $400 for a 2 point camber kit, this set up is $400 from a VZ SS and the LSD has only done 65,000km. But im trying to think of a place that can install it all for me, suggestions? How much would i likely to be charged for it?
    Better getting a mechanic to do it, or getting a suspension joint to?

    Replacing VTs1 rear with VZss-a115_1.jpg

    Theres a pic of whats for sale, doesn't come with wheels, springs, shocks or k-frame. Will that be all i need for a transplant into a Series 1 VT, and is it better for a mechanic to put it in or a suspension place?
