  1. Removing mudflaps

    I have seen many standard versions of my commodore (equipe) without mudflaps. I have been told and I can see for myself if I remove my own that there will be a hole in the side of the car. I was wondering where would I go to get said hole patched? Or something..
  2. Fitting Caprice/Grange front bar.

    Front bar: 235 Lights: 138x2 Bonnet: 298 Guard light: 125x2 Guard: 98x2 Main handle: 33 Other handles: 22x2 Total: 1332 WITHOUT PAINTING. Holmart ^ (My handles are ####ed haha) I will do some more research. No idea how much it would cost to fit and for wiring etc.
  3. Vz sv6.... :)

    DUDE! LOVE IT! Tell me how you got this done, price everything I want this done!!
  4. Fitting Caprice/Grange front bar.

    What are the requirements for such a job? Hell, where would I even get the kit from? I asked Holden and they said I need new mounting brackets or something for the front bar and I would need a new hood and maybe front guards. I have seen this done on a ute a wagon and two calais' and it...
  5. VZ Equipe

    I was considering it but theyre too dark and the current tail lights match the colour of the car better ;) My next mods are prob a vinyl black roof (unless it will look retarded) and red walls on the tires. Then a Grange front conversion. Just need to find the parts at a wreckers, which will...
  6. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    I am considering changing them as it would be cheaper than lowering my car more (Plus the ones I have are apparently **** as they have no flex). But the labour cost is essentially the same. How much does Holden charge for original ones?
  7. VZ Equipe

    Cheers :) Yeah the colour was basically the only reason why I got it initially. I didnt even think about different model commodores at the time other than the SS etc. Damn those tiny tail lights.

    I was going to get an SS but I hated the rear tail lights. So I got an Equipe. Big mistake... hahaha
  9. lowered, half done job

    Struts and shocks wont improve anything unless you get some sort of comfort range. But even then because the car is so low there isnt enough travel for the shocks to do their work. You are doomed. At least for the rear... My front springs/struts seem alright. But then again I am as low as I can...
  10. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    Same here its annoying. Yeah strut tops or whatever theyre called. Did you get red ones? They are higher than the standard commodore ones by 1cm+. Im on 225/35.

    love your car man :)
  12. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    29.5 hub to guard for the rear and from the ground its 61.5 Weird our our fronts are so different - prob because im on 20's - but its still confusing as we have the same hub to guard measurements...
  13. lowered, half done job

    $400 + Parts Give or take. I recommend JAX Quickfit as they are the cheapest. I have spent well over $1500 all up on my stupid ####ing suspension.
  14. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    Meh, I don't feel very keen on spending money to lower my car 1cm. Can you guys measure from the ground to the guard for me? I remeasured. 34cm hub to guard and 66.5 from the ground to the guard.
  15. Carl's Series I VY Calais on 20's :)

    That headunit is so ugly! haha! Other than that love the rims :)
  16. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    Better than being constantly on them. Plus my car has a ####ed up bearing top which raises it slightly so to my knowledge, all is good.
  17. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    So they don't have any legal repercussions from the installation I assume. Riding on the bump stops etc is a bad idea. They also sell show car springs which are insanely low.
  18. vz sv6: need advice on lowering, sl front ssl back?

    Check out my VZ Equipe. I have had a lot of drama with lowering it. I originally got Pedders Super Low on the front. Bad idea. They were way too high and stiff (37cm hub to guard). I now have King Ultra Low (For a VZ) which is apparently the lowest I can get without being illegal/####ing up my...
  19. lowered, half done job

    If its lower than 38-39cm from the centre of the hub to the guard id recommend lowered shocks/struts (monroe gt).
  20. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    Just got off the phone with King. They confirmed the KHFL-47SSL+ would lower my car a further 1cm but its not recommended (they would even refuse to install it) as its illegal and would be riding on the bump stop. So phew. I guess I will deal with what I have or get ####ing airbags haha. I...
  21. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    $120? They are currently advertised on two sites so if you want them theyre yours! Should have told me earlier. KHFL-47SSL = VY Ultra Low KHFL-47SL = VZ Ultra Low but also VY Super Low. ####ing confusing. King Springs themselves told me to get the KHFL-47SL so I did. So 1cm difference to...
  22. VZ Equipe

    I recommend Tempe tyres although I bought from FDO wheels in Vic (Terrible after sales service).
  23. VZ Equipe

    which ones? mine? tempe sell them for $1500 wheels and tires. but only if you bargain with them. OR! just call up a shop that price matches and SAY tempe offered 1500 ;)

    much respect man. very jealous. sounds beasty :)
  26. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    I got ultra low king springs (khfl-47sl) and it lowered it by 3-3.5cm which is perfect. I have some pedders springs for sale now :D
  27. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    Fulcrum recommended the Ultra Lows. Which are 1cm lower than super lows. Seeing as my car is 2cm higher than it should be I think it will equal out hopefully. PLUS cant you get like -- something to raise the car without changing the springs? Could have sworn people put some sort of plate...
  28. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    I will but the issue is. If my car is too high on these springs, what would be the height on other springs. So I am going for the lowest hoping it will equal out lol.
  29. INFO on Pedders superlows and FE2 springs?

    Pedders are idiots. Can't believe I trusted their products. I guess the springs are soft but thats about it.

  31. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    didnt want it to tuck - just be above the tire. not freakin 3cm above it lol
  32. Removing mudflaps

    i was thinking to get the holes patched up. as i have a dint on my rear bumper im sure it wouldnt be difficult for somebody to do the whole thing :) surely the front flaps are screwed exclusively inside of the wheel arch..
  33. Removing mudflaps

    lol id #### it up if i did it myself
  34. Removing mudflaps

    thought all the screws were in the inside of the wheel arch :( bummer
  35. Removing mudflaps

    Does it leave a screw hole or anything visibly bad? Also is it legal (in qld at least) to remove them? I was told it wasn't.
  36. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    Sorry to keep bothering you (I don't even remember if I have asked you already) but what is your htg? (centre of the wheel to the guard) And do you have the stock bearing tops?
  37. CPR6 Manifold - Worth $1600?

    You end up paying almost that much with some exhausts/extractors and you get more hp this way? meh
  38. CPR6 Manifold - Worth $1600?

    V6 Commodore alloytec manifolds with extra horsepower Seems like it would increase performance. Either by itself or with other modifications. Looks like a good start to making my car better :3
  39. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    yes sir! also yeah ive let them settle but apparently they dont settle at all. pedders say theyre springs are already compressed and so on and have no room to move. and it would look alright if my rear wasnt so low and id rather change the front than the back at this stage. but yeah i dont...
  40. Can somebody tell me why my car is 2cm higher than it should be on super low springs?

    Cheers for the info Low06VZ - can you tell me what the model number of your front springs are by any chance? I spoke to King springs on the phone and they informed me the most likely culprit is the bearing tops. As they are cheap and stiff they raise the car by roughly 1 to 1.5cm. Still...
