VX Commodore S-pack
Guys i just want to get some recommendations for my VX S-pack. I want to lower it but i dont want it to then be a pain in the arse! I want to minimise body roll and to change the look of the car! I'm open to suggestions for brands as well as recommended ride heights! Part numbers, cost and pics would be mad helpful!
Thanks Guys

Lower it any more and it will be a pain in the ass. FE2 is factory lowering, but a happy medium between performance and that being a pain in the ass.
You may have already found that FE2 scrapes on some driveways, imagine how close it gets to doing that on many more others, lower it some more and it will be a pain in the ass.
If you are fine with that then lower away

It would only scrap if i had 5 people in there and went too quick into a drain or something. You will learn how to drive your car and not crunch it.

That ride hight looks good ,but shrebcke13 has a vx s and the front bar is a bit closer to the ground so it is more likely to scrape on driveways . I have a vx s and is a pain getting up driveways with fe2 springs.

It cost $350 fitted for the springs and $380 fitted for the camber kit.

That was at pedders so im sure you could find a better price.

These photos show the springs all settled down

my ride height, just leaves enough room to sit a beer can under the front bumper without touching the bumper.

mmm superlows for any vt-vx with a kit, ultras for any vt-vx without a kit.

check my page, it has ultralows all round (no kit) and ultralows are roughly 2.5cm lower than superlows :)
