- VX S pack (Devil Yellow)
VX S pak. Pretty much standard. I replaced the factory shocks as I didn't like the jiggly ride. I had had success with Sensa-tracs on my old Magna so I thought I'd give them a try on the S.
They were great. Well damped but in corners they didn't allow the car to wallow and body roll.
I went through 3 sets of Sensa-tracs over the next 300,000 k's. But Monroe they stopped making them for my Commodore. I put in a set of Monroe GT Gas next. I could feel the difference straight away! And not in a good way. "Jiggly" ride was back! And now after 15,000 k's they feel worn out. Very rough on the road, on a reasonably long drive (100 k's plus) they are worse. It feels like the oil is aerating.
I got so fed up with the harsh, jiggly ride, I put a (worn) set of sensa-tracs back on the rear. Much better but they are worn.
So, I understand they fitted Sensa-tracs to HSV's and Monaro's.
What are the owners of those doing? And can anyone suggest - intelligently, a suitable replacement? The manufacturers just say GT gas... They are NOT the same.
