Some people can't be helped, yet in his video he overtakes a 4WD towing a trailer on a bend over double white lines!

When I did my coilovers last weekend my strut top bearings were also shot. They were in about 5 parts :/ what did you replace yours with?

Also not sure what's better wing or no wing I like both

I got some Whiteline strut tops and cost more for the bearings, think it was about $200ish all up

Got around to putting the adjusters in for the rear coil overs. Thought I'd have to drill some holes in the boot like some of the G8 boys in the states had doneImageUploadedByTapatalk1388309138.000715.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1388309165.999092.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1388309183.815537.jpg, mines got the gas tank in the boot so brought the nephews Calais around for a look and the boot floor was the same as the ones in the G8's so pulled the tank out and turns out my boot floor is different and has rubber grommets where the strut tops are so I sacrificed one of the adjustersImageUploadedByTapatalk1388309385.315692.jpg and made the other 2 adjusters longer so I could just leave them in the struts all the time with the rubber grommets and cut the carpet to suitImageUploadedByTapatalk1388309503.881413.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1388309534.715657.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1388309560.999061.jpg. So now I have full adjustment anytime with out having to remove the strut or gas tank because of the low clearanceImageUploadedByTapatalk1388309702.265854.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1388309734.099073.jpg

Well next drama with the old girl I've had the coil overs in about 7 months now a think that this could be a side affect of having them set a bit to low. I had a squeak in the passenger rear that sounded like a exhaust rubbing, after some investigation I found the rear passenger cradle mount has been pulled out of the chassis

I really can't be bothered replying to most people that post about chev badge s*#t but I take you must live in America otherwise you sound like a goose for taking the piss about a chev badge when you made a Pontiac out of your Holden.

Exactly. The Pontiac front end is only in oz cause Pontiac got **** canned in the US and Holden were left with a bunch of G8 parts left over (not to mention cars) and charged gullible people an extra grand to make an SSV SE.
