Awesome, thanks. That's been my biggest concern about doing it. Actually, considering the rear is getting a much more substantial upgrade compared to the front. Do people feel as if it changes the way the car feels under brakes?

Are you able to fit these under the standard 19" rim, or do you have to be running a 20" to get away with it?

You just said yourself that it's down on torque. Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races ;)

According to Sonny, he reckons it made quite nice power from factory. So, that being the case, you would assume that the gains were the same and the end result just ended a tiny bit higher then normal. Though, it is also around the ball-park figure of what I've seen anyway. Either way, it drives...

The early models are capable of running E85 The automatics have AFM. (Not sure if the LS3 has it?)

Another +1 for the sound of a VCM OTR.

Then really you're the only one who can answer about how to launch it.

If it's stock, remember to account for the delay in the throttle.

A window? 10 characters

Far enough in the outback to get a remote tune? But not far enough to mean that you couldn't get a run on a dyno to find out it's got 200rwkw?

Something I noticed yesterday when I popped the bonnet. The top strut rubbers are getting chewed away and bits of rubber flakes are building up on strut towers, on a car that's a bit over a year old with 16,000km. I'm not particularly impressed with it!

A V6 can do better the times than the average V8? Maybe with a decent amount of work to it, yes. Stock for stock? Yeah, right...

Throw a multi-meter on the battery and see what voltage you've got. Then put your air-conditioner on, and put every light you can on (including high beams). Check the voltage again whilst maintaining the revs at about 1200-1500RPM. If you're voltage is low at this point, and/or decreasing...

But even when the vents are open the climate control barely works correctly anyway

Now that's interesting. Definitely influencing me to make the switch to E85

That's certainly not an issue at all, in my opinion. Have to do the same thing to get the spare out of my landcruiser, and that's got a hell of a lot heavier tyre to drag out. Try doing that with a 33" mud tyre on a steel rim, in a mud bath. I'll take the SV6 any day. LOL. As for the different...

Some of the utes do come with a spare, however, the Redline comes with nothing spare, no tools, no jack, nothing. Just a tyre pump with some foam to inject into the tyre.

Yes. Here's a big one. My SSV-Redline Ute doesn't come with a spare, of any sort. Nor does it come with the hanging equipment to place a spare under the back, or any tools. It only comes with a foam and pump kit. To rub salt into the wound, to buy said gear from Holden spare parts will cost...

Just placed my order today. Joining the VF club! VF SSV Redline Ute in Nitrate Silver Manual w/ Towbar, Twin Hump Hard Cover & Floor mats. All drive away for $54,000. Don't know exactly how that rates, but pretty happy with it. Hopefully take delivery of it Tuesday next week. Just in time...

So has there been any actual confirmed news on any updates the MY15 might be getting? I can't seem to find anything and was just wondering if anyone has actually heard something.

Does anyone know yet if his coma was induced, or part of medical reasons? Last I heard they were unsure. Hopefully he'll make a recovery

IP Camera's are great. The programming options and choices you have in setup make them fantastic for installers looking for an exact setup (Once they understand them). But along with the price, they bring another issue to the table; Networking. They require a much more complicated setup to take...

If you're willing to spend the money then you can go a full pan/tilt zoom Dome camera with subject tracking. It'll focus in the main subject in the frame, and follow it as it moves. Though, as I said, they're not cheap.

They may possibly do a Dome camera, however, I'm talking full body camera's here.

IP Camera's for a home system is probably a bit excessive. It's why I highly recommend the Bosch Day/Night camera's.

For a good vision at night you've got 2 real choice, an infrared camera, or an extremely good Day/Night dedicated camera. Infrared camera's a fairly good, and relatively cheap (Not saying they're dirt cheap). The problem with them because of the infrared lighting at night they're not as...

Actually, it is illegal.

Really? Cause I could've sworn that you said "body roll on bigger rims"

More body roll with larger rims?

For anyone wanting to do a search in the future. My VR is NOT scrubbing when it sits 30mm lower in the rear on King Springs Lows with 235/45 R17.

Sounds good. Looks like I'll grab them and stick them on. Hopefully it's all sweet. Thanks.

I tried doing a search for 235/45 R17 in the VR-VS ride section, and could only find one relevant post who seems to have them and he isn't having any problems. I was kind of hoping for a little more opinion though if possible. Just to be 110% sure.

Hi there, I currently have a VR V6, at standard height on 215/60 R15. I'm very interested in a set of VT SS Rims, which currently have a set of 235/45 R17 tyres on it. I also have just recently got a set of 30mm Lowered King Springs for the front and rear of the car and will be putting...

Yes, I understand the M/C TO the ABS module, but I don't understand the difference between an ABS master cylinder, and a non-abs master cylinder. And I don't just want to do M/C and Booster, it's just what I'd like first. Once I get those, I'll be putting in new rotors and pads as well, with...

Could someone please clarify why there is a need for a slightly different master cylinder for abs and non abs? I would assume on the abs cars, that because there is only a front and rear brake line to the abs module where it gets split to each wheel, that the abs module would control all the...

Is all the attitude really necessary? Just because it's a 6, does that mean it shouldn't stop as well as an 8? I'm after a 1" master. Gives slightly less pedal feel, but a higher pedal. It's a personal choice as to what I like. No. I personally prefer a higher pedal. It gives me more...

Higher pedal, which is one thing I'm after.

Pads and rotors aren't my main concern. It's more M/C and Booster. Which makes me ask, is there a 1" master cylinder to suit an ABS?

I wanted a VE brake upgrade, but, I can't fit them under my current 15" rims. Thats why I'm looking at other options
