    Unhappy commodore vy ii 2004...lowered on 20"mags

    hey all ....

    this is my second post in this forum and so far this forum roxx..

    okay,

    I have a 2004 holden commodore with lowered suspension running on 20" mags........... the concern is that it gets too bumpy sometimes... and i really have to break down on most distortions on roads...... so whhat do u think i must do to improve the comfort?? and yeah what is the best way to get rid of the wobbly steering while not accelerating on low speeds like 80-90 kms?

    Just a tip though, you might be better off posting in the VY section. You managed to get this one in the VZ area.

    Thread moved.

    You could look at new shocks but at the end of the day it will make little difference.

    Rough ride quality is the sacrifice you make having a low car and 20" wheels.

    Not with 20" wheels obviously, but smaller wheels that are suitable for non low profile tyres will help.

    Put some stockies on to see the difference.

    what colours your car??? 18 inch VY SS rims look good one wagons and they still fill the guards better than stockies... have about an inch and a half of rubber on them which absorbs some of the shock from the road
