Hi And thanks in advance for your opinions. Are staggered 20's much different than staggered 19's in terms of ride ,steering response,general handling & road noise? I have a series 2 ssv with 25mm lower eibachs /bilsteins & need more grip to cope with 560rwhp. Thanks again.

Hi, I want to improve my SSV series 2 gearshift by making it more direct & less rubbery.But I am anxious to avoid any increase in noise or vibration if possible. I read that Mal Woods Automotive,MWA, claim to be the best short shifter.I would greatly appreciate any opinions & many thanks in...

Hi,So is the camaro as good to drive as a vf ssv & is it as well built? Please tell me your opinions if you have actually driven both,thanks

Hi, I also can highly recommend Josh at LSX Powertrain,385 Sevenoaks st. Beckenham as he has tuned my 2 vf ssv's and they both run perfectly with great acceleration. Also, his aftersales service is great.I hope you are happy with whoever you choose.

Hi,just fitted a new 3 inch system,hurricane header & complete manta 3'' stainless steel system including hiflo cats to my vf ss series2 LS3 manual that has lsa supercharger & mild cam.. Like the deep note but it's a bit loud even though it's the quietest version available of the manta exhaust...

Hi, Please advise me of your recommended best tuner for my Vf SS Ls3 manual fitted with LSA supercharger,standard boost and standard exhaust. I want a bit more power,say about 15% more but at a reasonable price. I am considering : Eddie at Actives Rocky at LSX Powertrain John at Street Quick...

Hi & thanks for all the replies,much appreciated.Any more comparison feedback on ps4s or other Bridgestones please.

Hi Guys. I own VF series 2 with original 19's RE050's.They are a bit noisy on coarse chip but I do like their direct steering response with cornering. Some PS4S reviews say the Michelin's soft sidewalls give great grip & comfort but that the steering response is a bit slow & indirect. I would...

Hi Monty,I was impressed with your post & I would appreciate very much if you could share your cam specifications with me as I want to liven up my vf s ssv ls3 manual which has cai,headers & tune.It goes well but I would like that coming on the cam sporty feel.How was your fuel consumption...

Hi & thanks for your quick response.Cam is either a Harrop model 65-LSCAM-H02 or WSM CUSTOM CAM used by member Flo Rider.Or if you can suggest any other better options I would appreciate it as you seem particularly knowledgeable. .

Hi, would appreciate input re fitting this cam to my VF 2 MANUAL LS3 that already has VCM CAI,tuned length headers merged into standard bimodal exhaust with fuse removed,in regards to following queries: Would it provide that noticeable "coming on the cam" surge in power around 4000rpm as I find...

Thanks for the replies,is Harrop version any good?Any more input is most appreciated.

Hi,I would appreciate advice as I find my SSV S2 shift quality to be a bit rubbery & light.I want a more muscle car type action,more direct ,firmer & shorter travel BUT without transmitting much noise or vibration.In my previous 2009 R8 I had a Walkinshaw short shifter fitted in 2012 & the shift...

Hi, Thinking of fitting a HSV bimodal exhaust ( cat back ) to my auto ssv series 1 ( dod disabled ) & wondering if it will drone much if the bimodal is open permanently.I do like a decent v8 rumble at low revs as well as when flattening it. Thanks in advance for all replies.

Hi fellow enthusiasts,Has anyone removed the fuse & thus left their V8 series 2 bimodal exhaust open permanently? If so,does it drone much during normal cruising. I have an automatic vf ssv series 1 with disconnected DOD & standard manifolds. I would greatly appreciate any...

Thank you for your helpful post,much appreciated

Hi , Please comment on your experience on fitting a stage 1 or 2 cam .I have a series 2 manual ssv & plan to improve its performance with headers linked to standard bi modal & cai plus tune. I've read that a bigger cat back is mainly for extra noise rather than extra performance on the road...

Hi, I want to modify my ssv vf 2 manual, desire MUCH MORE EXCITING GRUNT & have been very impressed with Rocky at Harrop & also met Eddie at Actives who is a good guy & seems to be a knowledgeable tuner. Any recommendations from punters who have achieved great results for a reasonable cost...

Hi Guys, I've just bought a SSv manual series 2 & love it but it does sit pretty high. I plan to fit about 30mm lower springs,have had good result with eibachs & bilsteins before. Does anyone have experience with koni shocks on a lowered VF & how would they compare with bilsteins? I want...

Hi, I WOULD APPRECIATE VERY MUCH any opinions on this topic. I'm interested in your thoughts whether the extra cost of the series 2 redline is worth it over a series 2 ssv. Or would a ssv with 30mm lower eibach springs with bilstein shocks steer & handle even better than a stock redline...

Thank you very much for your detailed reply & all the best for 2016

Hi fellow enthusiasts. I currently have a SSV My14 with eibach 30mm lowered springs & bilsteins. It handles nicely but am thinking of updating to a Series 2 SSV,either a Redline or a SSV. Is the steering more precise on the SSV Redline compared with the SSV? My only real criticism of my...

Sorry I meant lower by about 3 cm,thanks for replies so far

Hi,please pass on the best suspension choice to lower about 300mm but have a supple,NOT THUMPY, ride still.My local shop suggests eibach/bilstein by Fulcrum combination,around $2500 fitted.Anyone tried this yet? Thanks for all replies.

Hi,please recommend your opinion of not too noisy deep tone exhaust with minimal to zero drone for VF SSV auto ( dod deleted ) Thanks guys.[.

Hi, have Vf SSV auto & appreciate advice re manta catback 2.5 inch. Is there much difference in note between mild steel & stainless , ( my car has Harrop otr & mild 220/224 cam,DOD disabled ) & does the manta mild steel catback last quite a few years usually or does it rust out? Thank you...

Hi,I appreciate any advice re best supercharger to fit to my vf ssv auto. I tested a harrop equipped ssv & it went really hard & was very smooth,same car ran 11.6 quarter.I did however find it a bit noisier than I prefer with a rumbly noise at idle (standard cam) & a pronounced shriek when...
