    roll the gaurds and get a camber kit. Gaurds rolled - $50 a gaurd, camber kit - $400
    no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone

    Roll the fronts, don't bother with the rears, as no-one ever buys rims that sit anywhere near Commodore rear guards.

    Even with camber kits, you wont rub the guards.

    Coilovers will give you LESS clearance, as the bottom spring perch is much further down than the standard strut.
