Rear shocks:

Well they seem to be the same with the rods being slightly different in length. The FSD golds are low pressure gas charged while the Sport yellows are hydraulic (in the rear). Front strut inserts:

While we're at it, if people can call Koni in Australia and ask about the Special ACTIVE red dampers, that could push Koni to move from the outdated FSD golds to the new Special ACTIVE reds which utilize the FSD technology, are cheaper, and are more robust (less prone to fail).

Well it looks like you've already completed the job. You really should have gone with the SuperPro SPF1590AK (polyelast) mounts. They ride just like the stock rubber but they won't fail like the stock mounts. They also have a lifetime warranty. You'll be changing out those stock mounts sooner...

Also consider Koni progressive bump stops when going with Koni struts and shocks: https://www.g8board.com/threads/what-does-everyone-do-for-strut-bumpers-bump-stops.234562/#post-3426866

Is there a reason why you didn't go with the stock FE3 springs first like you mentioned here?: https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/which-shocks-should-i-get-for-my-vf-redline.281308/page-3#post-3090635 I ask because I have King springs (lowered front, super low rear, for a V8 VE) with...

Do you mind measuring the hub-to-guard?

If you went Koni Sports yellow or FSD you would be much lower in the rear. You'd need their sleeve to correct Koni's flimsy [what looks like] aluminum seat (at least that's how it comes North America, which is flat and not notched for the spring) which sits on the shock circlip but has a gull...

*delete please*

That's how it's listed on Kings' website for the VF. Lowered coil: Front: KHFL-151 Rear: KHRL-152SL KHFL-151SL is for Super Low front. I suspect when you combine these matched springs with Koni shocks in the rear (with the seat issue), it makes the rear even more lower.

I'd go with the SuperPro Polyelast (durability of polyurethane but softness of rubber; lifetime warranty): https://www.g8board.com/threads/best-rubber-strut-mounts.257178/#post-3420641 Correct. The mount sits lower than OEM. You'll need Koni's sleeves to correct this...

The original/old Koni FSDs or the new Koni Special Actives (red)?

The Chevy SS' shark fin antenna is used for GPS (GPS signal OnStar uses, not to be confused with a separate GPS antenna for integrated navigation; up front by the center speaker in VEs), cellular (for OnStar, not persona phones), and XM. It is not used for AM/FM. The AM/FM antenna is integrated...

The Chevy SS driver side (LHS) mirror autodims. The mirror is fed by the interior autodimming mirror once the interior autodimming mirror activates/detects a brightness difference between the front and rear of the inside mirror.

It's funny because the VE connectors in the service manual shows that for RPO codes TT7, TT8, and EF7, there's a level siwtch that's meant to signal the instrument panel.

Old post but nice car. Quick correction: Those 19 states only require a rear plate.

Got them... Camera: 92253710 $335.95, superseded to 92288147 Chrome trim: 92253709 $90.20 Harness: 92237675 ~$29.20

Does anyone have the part numbers for the VE Series 2 chrome trim and the OEM camera? I know the wiring harness part number is 92237675 and comes with a boot.

Any update on securing the OEM material?
