vz ss ute suspension and stereo

hey i dont ahve photos but it is neccessary to get lowered shocks with superlows.....it gives it a better ride and a more stiffer feel to the handling...

 

i have fitted super super lows ( lovells ) to mine and am still using original shocks - it dropped 65mm in rear and 55mm in front.Its still got enough down travel as mine had FE2 suspension
The only prob is theyre not quite as controlling as would like with the rating of the coil( but still has a nice ride)
One big problem though is you cant hit big dips with speed as under carriage hits hard-found out the hard way- speed bumps also a problem- but looks sweet
picture attached was 2 days after fitting but now 2 months has dropped a bit more

 

Here is a pic of my VY stereo, I have since colour coded the surround to match the rest of the dash, but I have no pics yet

 

kmbattle, Na i didnt fit it myself, did help the installer though, I did all the speakers and stuff and watched most of the head unit install (i have since installed a sub which was easy), some dash removal etc, main thing I was impressed with was the head unit instal was the installer wired it into a plug that fitted the standard wiring loom, plugged straight in with no need to chop wires which I thought was fantastic, so if someone tells you it cant be done, it can!, only other trick that I am aware of is the aerial plug is different for some reason, but the installer had an adapter that plugged into make it fit. other than that it seemed easy, but I would recomend a good installer do the head unit at least. And if you do install a new head unit, make sure that you cancel the display on the dash first, a lot of people have been complaining of losing there options menu, but my VY and my mates VZ never had this problem as we both cancelled the radio display through the options menu before the original head unit was removed. Hope some of this helps.

Enjoy

 

Yes they are shadow chrome and are 19's
if you have pic's of your machine post them up so i can see how the chrome looks as was going to get them myself

 

I got Super Low Pedders on my impulse Blue SS ute and kept the original shocks and i reckon it looks awesome with a set of chrome 19's, ride is still comfortable although a bit rougher on bad roads.
Barcode your ride looks awesome, might have to go for Lovells next car.
I would post pics but everytime i try it seems to fail.

 

OOMPN

if you need to send me the pics and i will post them up
for you
PM me if you wish

 

Cheers for the offer Barcode, trying on my pc not my laptop to upload the pics, and wouldnt you know it works!

 

here is a couple more pics done recently

 

You are right in that the ute bumper is different to sedan
i have seen a few around with the factory mesh fitted and one person told me he used sika to hold it in there-another ordered the vehicle with it fitted
i wanted something different to the standard so i just used alloy mesh
easy to fit just bend around the bar and glue it in with sika( 5 minute job to remove bumper)
i also modded my grille to suit ( main reason was i didnt like the honeycomb mesh personally and dont like the chev grilles)- just my opinion-which is why i did what i did

 

Front Grille

kmbattle, no mine didnt come with the grille. A mate with a VZ S bought the grille from Holden and glued it in, so I am going to do that aswell.

 

not real hard at all
remove grille
couple of clips or screws on side in wheel arch
couple of clips under number plate
and i think a couple of screws underneath
from what i can remember
only took me 5 mins the first time i did it

 

Hey km, mint utes guys. Just wondering if you have some new pics of your ute lowered? also wondering if you guys could answer another question. I just got a new vz ss (im in new zealand) and i want to put an exaust and lower it a bit, i asked the dealers when i got it and they were aying stuff about void the warrenty and the like, are they right or just a stupid salesman?

thanks
