of course you did, why ask if you have a mod as its already probably been done ahaha but how did they go?? is it worth going for the full solids over the void inserts?

I like the feel I get now with the voids . I think the solids would be good but it's super stiff already and if it got any stiffer I think it would rattle my teeth out.

So I took today off and had my shot with Eric from street commodores was a great day and his shots looked pretty great so I can't wait for it to be in the mag. Should be in the next few months.
Also tried some menzerna polishes in the engine bay aswell. Came up pretty good I think.

Okay guys so i know alot of you are curious how the suspension setup goes so here it is. This afternoon I did a proper test on the tein super street coilovers and new superpro hollow adjustable swaybars 29mm front and 26mm rear. Just on the weight of the new bars there's atleast a few kilos shaved their Which is always a good thing. The current settings on the front to rear are 4clicks back and 5clicks front (those clicks are from the hardest setting wound back) .
As for the swaybar adjustment I'm runningon the 2nd notch hardest on the front and in-between on the rear bar.
So far the corner entry speed had dramatically increased with no more push (understeer) from the front end. no body roll whatsoever whilst taking no more effort to muscle the car into corners.

The rear end which included new coilovers swaybar and bushes. Is an absolutely brilliant. The suspension works brilliantly with the front and gets no see sawing like alot of lowered commodores do over bumps. Coming out of the regular corners I'm able to get on the gas alot earlier with fear of braking traction with the back tires. Which makes a huge difference when trying to hold a good line and keep on the power. Any questions guys feel free to ask.
