yeah with SSL if i like the height i won't delay getting a camber kit. but with lows in the back its hardly worth it, tyres are cheaper lol.

thats true but in the long term tyres will cost way more and that money is better off on go fast bits. with low all you need is a comber kit and not the toe kit it might be expencive to fit but then you wont need to buy tyres all the time

sorry for the thread steal HGsurf

Just had a look on Ebay and saw this REAR TOE / CAMBER KIT FOR THE REAR OF IRS COMMODORE .. (eBay item 300360554514 end time 19-Dec-10 20:42:47 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats
is this the kit you guys have ? and is it a good price ?

There's Kmac camber kits on eBay for about300 I've heard they're really good

i brought nolathane and they was aboud 180 bucks. i think any kit will be good its all depends on what ya can afford

Got a set of Monroe lowered struts &lows (Lovells front) & superlow (Lovells rear) with lowered monroe shocks as well ordered a set of Kmac adjustable camber kit.
I'll get it rego'd first then put the suspension in.

Got a permit on the Calais too so took it for a drive to test the gearbox and went to book it in for a roadworthy today (Monday it's in) and I rekon the daughter has got herself a rippa Calais, it drives awesome on the road and the grouse thing is all the electrics are perfect.
Got some good comments on how mint is too.

by the sounds of it you dont want to give the car to your daughter now lol

it's a clean car but I get a kick seeing my kids driving nice street car's, I did up a VS wagon for my son earlier this year and it's good to see them appreciate & look after the car's.

Next in the garage is the Mrs' VS wagon, it's already lowered on a set of 18's but its a plain white acclaim with 160000km (we bought it new).
I picked up a Calais interior with wood grain inserts and it might get a new paint scheme too over Xmas.
