You finally posted your car. Damn i love this thing. Caprice's and Stato's (VS) look as tough as guts sitting down with big wheels.

The white and the sigs go so well together. Very nice man!!

Nice car mate.........don't understand how you can spend all that money on the engine to then drive on chopped live axle springs and classs gutted cats as a future mod:whistling

lol. ive been through alot of springs (thank you repco and your staff prices :whistling) but always wanted to go lower. the car doesnt see the roads everyday so id rather it have a tuff stance. plus i live in geelong, home to cut springs. yeah, i said no to high flow cats when my mate blew out boths of his on a stock 5lt (not even 6 months old). plus i couldnt justify the price for them. plus im a tight ass.
