    I dont mate but this link should take you to a vid of it on a stock system https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=648601451886597&id=343253445754734 My mates say its the best $500 theyve spent. Sounds way better than stock.

    Finally on the laptop to upload some pictures (just average phone ones). Car is lowered and sits real nice - wife hasnt scraped it on anything yet which is fantastic. Brake pads were all low so changed all four pads with Bendix. When these wear through I will upgrade to Brembos. Full license...

    Ve Cargo Barrier

    Wrong area to post this mate, be better in the VE help section. Im in the same situation though, and from my understanding you need to buy the template from Holden so you know where to drill the holes. Personally I'm going to get someone to do mine, less chance of a **** up haha.

    Update: Front springs and shocks in - already makes a massive difference to handling. Going to a mechanic to get the rears done as they are a pain in the ass to do. All my other commodores have been a piece of piss for the rears. Not the same for the VE Wagon. Took all the trimmings of to...

    Here is a link to a ahort video of the exhaust. Not fantastic quality. Will get a better one soon.

    Not really. The right one went on piece off piss. The left one gave a bit of grief. But got it there in the end. Mind you we just jacked the car up. If I did it at my mates who has a pit then the whole job wouldve taken maybe 15-20 minutes and been easy.

    There you go mate. They cost $500 delivered to your door from Rapid Exhaust in NSW. If you add them to your stock system (which both my mates are doing) they sit just on the legal limit of the db range, just.

    Put the marriage savers on yesterday and am iver the moon. They sound fantastic, nice note with crackle and burble. Has reduced the drone a fair bit. My two mates with their ssv' both ordered them today! Will put video up over the weekend.

    J pipes / marriage savers rear mufflers should be here tomorrow - cannot wait to hear the louder exhaust and hopefully no drone! Bought a full set of super low king springs already in monroe shocks (front and rear) for $460 delivered from country Qld to SA. Pretty bloody happy with that - they...

    SSV Wagon Cargo Barrier

    Cheers for the responses. Good to know it can easily be laid down / unbolted. Where did you gets yours done? Just at a general mech or did you go to Holden? Will I need to buy the kit if I am getting someone else to do it or can I assume they have the necessary parts/knowledge?

    SSV Wagon Cargo Barrier

    Mine doesnt have any mounting holes that I can see. Would they be noticeable if I did? I will pay someone to put it in professionally as I dont want to mess it up. Main concern is the ease of being able to remove it when needed.

    SSV Wagon Cargo Barrier

    Hi guys, Ive picked up a cargo barrier and bolts for cheap. Main reason is because I have to big dogs (Rottweiler and Labrador). One who occaisonally puts her paws up on the leather seat and today jumped over into the back (when getting into the car) and the other who drools like a...

    Thanks for the advice guys, using imgur now. Have to play around with it photos are a bit big but will do for now. Got my custom plates the other week. Very happy with them.

    Just commodores being a pain in the ass and not letting me upload photos at the moment! (Only 1mb in size but claiming that it's too big to upload). Will try again later.

    Not a lot to report. Finances for the car have been put on hold for this year unfortunately. Still going to lower it, should be sitting on superlows with monroe shocks in the next week or two. Then will most likely be getting 'marriage savers' to replace the rear mufflers. Get some more noise...

    K Shock Coilovers

    Thanks for the reply lads. Confirmed what I assumed. So will stick with king springs and monroe shocks. Looking at lows in the front and superlows in the rear. F: KHFL 150SL R: KHRL 152SLHD This sound good? I like the car to be level - slighlty lower in the back if anything.

    K Shock Coilovers

    Yeah fair enough, ive always used and liked king springs. But the idea of being able to get the height how I want it is appealing to me.
  28. taylormade93

    K Shock Coilovers

    Thoughts on these? Tossing up between springs and coilovers. Budget is 1k max. Like the idea of being able to set the ride height exactly how I want it but never had coilovers before so not sure if these are any good? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/122335801796

    Should mention that with the exhaust it currently has a xforce 2.5 catback, not just stock exhaust.

    Made a deal with the wife last night. Got permission for once I have organised our finances (cleared a personal loan) I can spend 7k on mods if she gets to buy a new couch and rug. I agreed to that straight away! Hopefully get it all done in the next couple months. Looking at lowering, rims...

    It is very hard Coop.. may or may not have done some of the driving on the way back from Melbourne. Cheers Pete! Theyre beautiful cars, monstar. I was tossing up between a vy ss wagon and the ve ssv wagon then my mate bought a black ssv sedan and as soon as I got in it i knew I had to have one!

    Cheers Simo! Im very happy with her. Going to get her registered in SA this week and put some custom plates on her. Looking at getting slotted rotors put on her, any suggestions for good brands? Also looking at new brake pads and potentially calipers. Any suggestions? (Brembos would be ideal...

    Mechanics in Southern Adelaide

    Hi guys, Just bought a ssv sportswagon and am looking for some advice on reputable mechanics down southern adelaide that are good with Holdens. Want someone that I can use for the life of the car. Any SA people got some advice? TIA

    Thanks Kanga, it sure did - loved it. Never taking my license for granted now that I know what it is like without it. Think the wife was happier than I was now that she doesn't have to drive me all the time

    suspension issues

    So turns out the noise was coming from the rear. My mechanic sussed it out and says it is the bushes (and maybe swaybar) in the rear and only when full locked. Likely to be either dry or just old. He said there is no safety concerns as it doesn't do it when it is driving and it handles well. I...

    suspension issues

    No noise or bouncing when pushing on the front guards. Suspension feels firm and good. Hard to record the noise it doesn't come through well in the video. Sounds a lot more clear in real life. Anyway here is another video for those interested. Also it kind of sounded like some noise was coming...

    suspension issues

    Yeah seems that it made it worse again. I'm not to sure about bushes and rubber joints, immortality. I will get my mechanic to check and spray bushes tomorrow. Car wont be driven before then.
