So yeah I never saw this section on the forum :$ So I've deicded to do my progress log here I need some help picking wheel's and selecting the right suspension for me, I've spoken to the guy on here a few months back who sells the KYB/King kit with a camber kit. Got a good price back then let's hope it's the same.

 

Yeah was looking at 18's or 19's with 235 or 225. And thanks man I have big plans for it.

 

From memory wernt the CV8Z's 19? Yeah I did look at them for a while They're a nice shape and would suit it.

 

Oohokay thanks I'm actually liking the look's of the VE 20" HSV Pentagon wheel's. They just look pretty awesome, yet the price will end up being $2000+ though :/



Also, I'm thinking of maybe down the track hunting down a Senator Kit for it (once I've lowered, got the wheel's, got the exhaust so on). Not too sure though. I generally don't like kit's at all, but I like the combination of the VX Senator Kit with the Bobtail and the roof spoiler (when it's sitting low on 20's). So I wouldn't get a kit until I'm about to spray my car, so they can do it all in one go.

Thoughts?

 

@DanLucas, thanks for the feedback yeah ill admit I usually hate kits on any car, i could get away with an Xu6 kit buy i like the style.of the senator kit, and I'd be willing to deal with the haters It wouldfar be a choice I'd have to give a lot of thought to. VX senator is by far my favorite car. As for the wheels, I quite like them and I see the other gts hsv style a lot more, we'll see

Ucwpen, thanks im taking the mud flaps off tonight actually

 

Here's a new picture




I've got some damage on the rear left pannel which I want to get pushed out (I pushed most of the dent out by hand, could fix it with a mallet), but there's bit's and pieces around the car which annoy me. I'm stealing my key off my mother >.>

 

In the process of taking my mud flap's off Taken the drivers side off with ease (had to take the front wheel off, raised the back and managed to get a stubby in), now to do the other side tonight.

=== Little update ===

This week, I'm ordering my suspension to finally lower it, I'm going to order my Advanti Tourers today Finally getting around to it!

Also contemplating what exhaust to get, thinking of a Lukey Stainless Steel setup, not sure yet.

 

The only side on one I had on my Phone, I can take one tomorrow morning.



This is what I basically want it to look like wheels and all (this belongs to 17TUX)

 

Got some new goodies still need to lower >.< they look mint though especially for $1500 and their genuine
