While I'm at it

Better throw in some more pics too, this is after i got the car back from the smash repairs, a cool $880 later and i have my door all nice again and my rear guards rolled a bit, hopefully it will help when lowering...it needs lowering!

Plus the first few are what the car looks like after a dust storm (couldnt find the dust storm thread) i reckon mine comes close to winning haha.

Enjoy!

new update...

after a few days of fun (well sunday arvo and the last few nights) the commodore is LOWERED!!!.

we lowered it and put in the camber kit, then bled the brakes. i also moved the stereo around and changed my amps so i could mount them on a little rack...heaps tidier and i threw two red neons in the boot aswell to smarten it up.

it gets the wheels aligned tomoz then i can drive it around and...stuff!

woohoo

Dude thanks for the awesome reply...yeah we did tie our hands behind our backs, try to make it interesting you know...took 2 days to figure out i couldn't pick up tools properly...then on the third day we were like 'stuff it, lets untie our hands'. so we did and it was really quick.

well any way, i got a pic of the car at blanchetown on the way home from adelaide that turned out well, so i'll chuck it up for now. plus a few others there aswell, second one is in mildura.

looks good now its lowered...i'm loving it!!!

VX II - LOWERED - 19's - HID's...!
looks perfect mate, you got SSL's on rear? because your rear is tucking.... i got SL's and my rear doesn't tuck.

anyway, well worth effort. looks awesome. wheels suit and love the black.

dude ill let you in on my secret...make sure all your families travel stuff is in the boot when taking pics lol...my boot is packing 3 amps, a sub box and at that time enough gear to last 4 people for a week...couldn't belive it all fit in there.

and it stayed that low until i was dumb enough to jack it up the other day!!!

what brand springs did u use and did u change to new shortened shocks?
