2003 VY S II
This is my first car, it’s a VY S series 2, completely stock when I bought it 7 months ago. I don’t plan on doing any performance mods because in my opinion I don’t see it being worth the money.. So, I went for slight cosmetic changes and a nice audio system :)
Let me know what you think.

MODS:
Performance/engine - 1:1.9 high ratio rockers, 2.5" redback (wanted a lukey) catback exhaust, in the process of building a custom air box to house a KN pod filter

Globes - changed globes to a white set because i hated the yellow glow
Springs - lowest legal, sits at about 105mm from the ground. Pedders Suspension.
Wheels - original SSz wheels (looking at getting refurbished, any good places?)
Audio:
Head Unit: Alpine CDA-117e
Front Splits: JL Audio C2-600
Rear 2ways: JL Audio C2-600x
Sub: Polk MOMO 12" DVC 4ohm
Amp: JL Audio XD7005 5ch 700Watts RMS
Sub Box: custom built and tuned to 35Hz
Sound Deadening: Front doors - Dynamat
Boot lid - Dynamat

Future mods:
Window tint, darkest legal
I would love a set of genuine VY SS headlights!
Possible foot well and boot lighting but not sure if I like the look

So, that’s my car. I love it and it suits my personality. If it were not for these P Plate laws it would be a V8 :p let me know what you think :)

not sure of the exact type of spring. all i know is that they are pedders sports rider springs. i asked for them to lower it to lowest legal while keeping the ride hight straight (not ass down front in the air like some of the cars i have see around) and it turned out great! really happy with it though i need shorter shocks because atm the ride is really hard, so when these shocks die im going back to pedders for a set of shorter shocks.
thanks!

it sits about same hieght as mine, my ride isnt soft :( but the ppl that did my shocks was where i get my car serviced and they put in Boge Turbo shortened shocks and struts and over bumps and that is real hard, i think they put cheap arss shocks in >.<

not sure of the exact spring type, all i know is that they are pedders sports rider springs. i just asked them to drop it to lowest legal while keeping a flat even ride hight (none of this ass down face up look that i see way to often) really happy with it though i need to invest in some shorter shocks when my stock ones die because the ride can get very bumpy haha.
thanks
