Official VY "Suspension + Wheels Setup" Thread!

[nEb.]

Looking around there are bits and pieces about lowering, and everybody seems to have done it, why not share with the rest of us how your ride height compliments your wheels.
When somebody says "I have King Spring Lows in my VY", Im vague, but not actually 100% sure on how it looks, post up some pictures and please note the following:

Type of Springs - i.e. King Springs Lows, SuperLows, MuzzaLows etc.
Cost - $$$
Where it was installed - DiY, Local Supsension Centre, TTF, TyrePower etc.
Size/Type of wheels - 20" Dolce DC-06, 19" VY Signatures, 18" VY SS etc.

Your images will help people like me (Who ride on FE2 and are wishing to go lower), and others (People not necessarily on FE2 but wishing go lower nonetheless) make a decision about what sort of suspension setup and wheel size to go for.



P.S - I have bought new wheels however it is 42 degrees outside and if i go to take photoes, i will melt along with my camera, I'll have my picutres up asap.

Type of Springs - KW V3 Coilovers (F) KW V3 Racing Springs + Koni Adjustable Shocks + Torque Dampers (R)
Cost - $4,300 installed (includes supply/fit of a strut brace also)
Installation - East Coast Suspension, Kirrawee
Rims - 19" AMG. Came with the car, so not sure on details.

For the record, I've raced modified track built STi and EVO's and managed to outcorner them, in this ute. It's the mother of all performance suspension.

Both front and rear have adjustable height, adjustable damper rebound and adjustable damper compression.

this is a great idea, good work guys, gives me an idea of what mine will look like lowered, and a choice on what to go for.

hey conkster, nice wagon, as far as i know holden brought out a bulletin saying that the VE wheels will not go on previous model commodores as the wheel studs are different sizes and there is the potential for them too fall off.

awesome looking ute genesis.

that looks good with those rims and that low mate. whats the ride like? It looks like it may be a bit rough. I would love to lower my crewy that far but my tailshaft would rub through my petrol tank beforre i got 5km on it.
