    Lowering my vy series ii

    sl are a breeze. The reason you need new shocks is that all shocks are made to travel certain distances (im talking suspension travel) because now you have a lower ride height, the shocks arnt made to soften short, sharp hits. Short shocks are made to do short sharp travels As for springs...

    they attached a device to you hub like they would a wheel, and theres a roller on the end of an arm thats adjustable.

    holden are on the meaner side of 300. They are the same as holden, but as said no ss. Which is better, IMO, for people who dont have an ss but have the ss kit Keep in mind, many people dont seel with the bolts!!

    v6 factory oil pressure sender

    it wont stuff your motor. the sensor is only connected to the light on your dash. Nothing changes depending on the oil in your car, its temp, pressure etc. (unlike an o2 sensor in your exhaust adjusting your ignition) basically youll just have to keep an eye on your gauge as there wont be any...
