Is it difficult to lower a VX Commodore?

[EXCESSV]

look mate if your in perth just go down to WA Suspensions in Osborne Park and ask them...they will give you straight out honest advice...no bULlSH&T.

there not the cheapest in perth but the best

if you want someone cheaper go to Wilkinson Suspension in bayswater i think.....personally i would stay away coz if they cant wheel align my dads 4wd then i wont let them touch my car.

but its up to you at the end of the day

You have to replace the shocks, or you will have very poor ride quality.

I got a set of super lows ($280)
KYB AGX fully adjustable shocks retail for $900, but I picked em up cheap through someone who purchased them and no longer wanted to install them.
then you gotta get a 4 point camber kit on top of that $200-300.

You can get a set of monroe shortened shocks for around 350-450 from memory.

I got a quote for shocks, camber kit, springs and installation for $1250 at a reputable suspension place around where I live.

If you want shocks, you wont be looking at anything less than $1100 in all probability.

what is a camber kit?
what is that needed for?

okay if i have the fe2 suspesnions is that practicly useless meaning i would have to then get shorter shocks? i.e monroe

i just got superlows put in my car last week and i didn't need shortened shocks the mechanic said any lower and i would need them but superlows are pretty fine.
You will need a camber kit to stop your wheels from wearing unevenly. You can get 2 or 4 point camber kits but you should only need a 2 point coz i bought a 4 point and when the wheel alignment was done they only ended up needing half of the kit.
Most low commodores you see driving around are probably on superlows and i think you will find that most don't have shortened shocks, but having them will give you a more comfortable ride.

really?
were can you buy camber kits from?
what the hell do they look like?
is there much price difference in a 2 point and 4 point?

yeah i think i will stick with my shocks..
so all you need is the superlows right?

Yeah that sounds reasonable. As I said before you don't need new shocks as the springs still stay trapped with superlows, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to change them.
