Dont worry about the 20s. Then again its your call they do look good. Mine came with 20s and Ultra low VS rear springs in it and it rode like ass. Having said that I changed to 19s and raised it (slightly) to VT-Z ultras in the rear and then spent another 2k+ on the suspension and it still rides rough or firm, whichever way you want to describe it but it handles alot better than the boat it was plus I grew used to it.

You just need to save for the L67 conversion now. I drove my brother emotec VT Calais one time and wow it was like night and day. But now he has an L98 manual VZ SS Thunder and hes trying to pull the "V8" card on me. Its amazing how quickly his ego started swelling, its kind of funny really. Oh well Ive got six years on him and five seats.


Lol nah conversions are a waste of time. I won't have done THAT much to this car anyways. It'll likely become the mrs car and we'll sell the VT to make way for an 8 :)


Series II front bar.

Do it.

Last on the list, but yeah. Then gotta do the skirts and rear bar too though, expensive.

Aiming for something like this in the end. VZ Calais tail lights too, VY II Skirts maybe.
