Customizing my first car (VT)

[Hibbo_Jnr]

Parents just gave me there old car they bought brand new a few years ago. (2000 VT s pack)
At the moment i'm try to customize it. Its all stock at the moment. Thinking 19 inch Eleanor rims and remove spoiler. Any advice on tyres? Also want to lower it.
Any advice on the above?
Cheers guys.

I love the elanors, if you go 19's then you'll want to go for super lows with the suspension, you will need new shocks to go with the shorter springs.
If you do that you'll need a 4 point camber adjustment kit.As for tires, it all depends on your budget, you could go for top of the range from anything
between 250-450 per tire or cheap ones for 150ish a tire.
PS. Check out the search tab at the top right corner

hey mate, your options are basically endless. Tyres range heaps in price. As for lowering, i have a set of lovells sports low springs you can have for $50 + postage if you are keen (front and rear). They are supposed to drop your car between 25-40mm. They suit vt-vz if you are keen.

If he doesn't take you up on your springs I might! Get a nice exhaust while you customizing!

what prices are you looking at for an exhuast??? full and cat back?

[Hibbo_Jnr]

@undersuspicion: I'll get back to you on the springs mate.
@Kieran263: Around about how much would it cost to do all the springs/suspension you suggest?

I scrolled around the net and found this picture. Pretty much exactly what i'm looking for.
I'm guessing there 19's yes?
Anyone have a clue what this car would have under it?
Superlows all round?

Go to GSL Rallysport in the sponsor section. They do full kits for around $670ish (don't quote me on that)
They also do camber kits. Best bet would be to drop them a question
