Good point thats something I havent checked, I dont have any rings installed so if they dont fit then..

 

[kangavxss]

Any tyre shop will have em to fit ur wheels only bout 5 bucks each..

Turns out I do have them they were just stuck to the hubs and I didnt realise lol! anyway brakes are done, new pads, slotted and drilled rotors and painted the callipers yellow (please ignore how dirty the car is).

Looks really nice man! Question, how do you plan on spraying the rear bar lip? Just pull the whole bar off and paint or mask up the car and paint it while on the car still? Ive been thinking about colour coding my bar lips and mirrors, just cant be arsed at the moment lol

 

[MattyZero]

If you go back through the thread you will see pics ive already done it, and I just taped it off while it was on the car and it turned out better than the sideskirts I took off the car lol!

Alright update time!!! I finally got the VX back to my place (had to drive it 600 ks) and it didnt miss a beat! you just cant kill commodores!! even ones like this that are leaking from literally everywhere and have a completely f*ked valley gasket cover looks like someone poured pumpkin soup in the radiator even after I flushed out everything and refilled it lol.

And now the VT!!! I picked up a set of superlows for her and monroe shocks got it all for $200 bargain!! cant wait to get it in but ill pick up a camber kit first.

And a shot because I just love it lol! 4wd spec will be no more soon.

Alright will this camber kit do? anyone who has bought them before your input would be helpful.

Rear Adjustable TOE Camber KIT FOR IRS Commodore VP VR VS VT VX AND VY | eBay

 

[djdomohudson]

I've never seen anyone talking about them. Most people go seek out a dead VY or VZ from the scrappies because they're bolt-on replacements and have a much steadier camber wear on your rear tyres. I think I remember Uniacidz talking about it.

 

[MattyZero]

Ah yeah ive heard about this before, im really not sure which way to go.

 

[djdomohudson]

You have to take out the rear kframe/sub frame or whatever its called as it can be adjustable if needed where as the early vt and vx series 1 wasnt and hence need a 4point camber kit to correct the camber/caster when lowering.

Can get the frames cheap enough, a big job which requires dropping the diff etc.

This is what he told me
