That's a mint car. It is a big step up from the VT. Enjoy your ride mate :)

Got the wheels, I do like them. I daresay I need red calipers now (red makes them brake harder, right?)

It's a little high on the rear for my liking. I've got the FE2 springs sitting at home.... just need to get 'em installed.

Looking at the sill, it's sitting at the same height front at rear. And you certainly don't want to end up with reverse rake by just lowering the rear... Wheels look way better than Berlina wheels too. But brakes painted red? Looks **** on bottom end cars imo. I reckon you should go for a polished look on the calipers. :)

I've got the set of FE2's (front and rear) springs so hopefully shouldn't be an issue. The standard suspension is bit too boaty for my liking. Yes, can't agree more - the standard Berlina wheels look pretty average. I don't think anything under 18" should come with the VE's - the wheel arch is too big for smaller wheels.

Polished look, eh? That's a good idea, actually. Have you done it yourself, or has anyone else? Photos and a few guides wouldn't go astray :)

Check out Troys thread for polished callipers, imo they looks sick. Oh and your ride looks pretty tops to :)

Ah, they do look pretty good. I might have to pick up some calipers to give it a go on!

Thanks, I must say I like all the mods to your Omega. There's always something to do on it, eh? :p

Well, I should have the FE2 suspension in on Friday. I've also discovered she's slowly loosing coolant so having a pressure test done then too! Just Commodore Spares have a replacement dash strip but I haven't heard back from them in some time...

Had a bit of spare time before a recent cruise, so took some photos
