Yeah they might have different setup but i doubt that a big issue and nothing you cant sort out with an alingment. You can fit a vb-vp strut under any model in between so it will bolt up. I'm pretty sure aftermarket strut tops are sold to suit vb-vp commodores but dont quote me on that

i dont know i havent driven my calais but mine arent adjustable either i think adjustable would raise ride height slightly but i cant really see them making the ride any rougher or harder
