Awesome pickup! Do you like the wheels? I cant say they agree with me on that car.

Looks sweet man, have a massive soft spot for vz Calais, almost baught one ages ago. Looks neat and I actually think the wheels suit it.

I never liked E3 GTS wheels either, then I saw this car. It matches it very well in my opinion. It converted me to liking those wheels on the spot.

the wheels look hot on silver and white, looks good mate

Had my first bit of fun. New windscreen they put on for the roadworthy has a 12inch crack creeping up from the bottom, just left of centre. Dodgy glass or install. The right rubber shield wasn't glued in properly either. Small bit of vibration in the back from the exhaust but I'm either thinking it's normal or it's just a bit too high up to the body. It got some more bracing on it for roadworthy as well. Already lots of fun to drive.

Car still has stock shocks in it. Any suggestions or tips for what to replace them with? SL King spring all round (50mm). I have been looking at KYB shocks for awhile. They had the best reviews from what I have been able to gather. They are a bit more dosh than most other brands though.

Kyb and kings are good if your on a budget and don't wanna spend big on Koni or bilstein. Had them in my vt on ssl's and was a nicer ride than alot of other commodores I'd been in.

Looks good mate , Dont really like those rims on other commodores , but they suit this car pretty nice .

 

[Brad87_VZCAL8]

Thanks mate. As above, I didn't like these rims AT ALL until I saw them on this car. Works very nicely with the colour of the car. Picked it up yesterday.......let the upgrading/mods begin :yahoo:
