Love the colour too, you should paint the silver part on ur rims the same colour, or make it all black?

Not wise to post videos like that, that are clearly on public roads.

My left testicle. Goddamn deadbeat. You really must get bored.

Was it hard changing the springs? And yeah fair enough, the VE's look heaps better in the flesh.

Na it was to easy the fronts are the same as every other commodore it looks they even have the same bearing plate.
The rear took a little more you can drop the whole lower control arm out to make it easy i didnt want to just incase i didnt get the wheel alignment right when i put it back cause there nearest place thats any good at doing an alignments on them is 3 hours away, So I used spring compressers to help get them out and it worked good. So in the end it is an easy job if you have some basic knowledge.

No matter what you do, when you make changes to suspension your alignment will ALWAYS need re-doing. But I'm more anal than most about having a good alignment. I get my alignment (and 4 wheel balance) done once every three months.
