since it's been a bit I don't think you'll see this, but if a bolt/nut is stripped you can you can use the locking pliers or a clamp instead of a spanner, you won't get the bolt/nut on tight that way but it's a neat trick if you want to put a fresh bolt/nut on there, sometimes it's properly buggered though and you've got to whip out the nut cutter or Dremel to get it off

Can you do a drive by video of the exhaust please

@jamich5 Год назад

You need to replace the dust boot also you put the bolts on the bottom of the strut the wrong way bolt head to the front

Hey mate are the SSL all around or just SL front and SSL rear?

@dismissedtub6717 Год назад

Fronts are khfl-47sl and the rears are khrl-46sl. On king springs website it says these are Ultra Low and I couldn't find anything lower.

@bodycamfiles1 Год назад

Whats the stock ride height of a 2005 or similar vz commdore? How low can I go before having to get VASS approval for rego?

@knifethrower9733 Год назад

If a coke can fits under the side skirts it's all good, that's what I was told 20 years ago when a cop was going over my car 😂

@herb5896 9 месяцев назад

did you need a wheel alignment after doing the front suspension?

@dismissedtub6717 9 месяцев назад

you most likely should but i havent. doesnt pull to the left or right, but i will check the tyres wear pattern when ever its on jacks or ramps

@teetiatia737 Год назад

Hey bro , the lowness of this is legal or no?

@dismissedtub6717 Год назад

this height is not legal i think by 2-3 cm for eyebrow height

@iamasmurf1122 10 месяцев назад

100 mm is legal height , from lowest point on the car

@snizzle.gamestv8793 7 месяцев назад

Is there SL or SSL In your rears? With standard shocks?

@dismissedtub6717 7 месяцев назад

i had 46sl in my rears which according to king springs website that's the lowest you could go kingsprings.com.au/catalogue/vehicle/304/holden-commodore-vt-vx-vy-6cyl-sedan-1997-7-2004 . and yea I just had standard rear shocks with them, she also scraped out of every drive way

@snizzle.gamestv8793 7 месяцев назад

I have pedders SL in the rear of my VX S pac, i want to do the fronts, i want the car at legal height which is apparently if a coke can fits under the front of the side skirt its legal. Is your car at legal height this way? @dismissedtub6717

@@snizzle.gamestv8793 mine cleared the coke can shit because i tested that but it didn't clear the eyebrow height requirement in SA tho. i have just raised my front as I scrapped a lot as I got extractors put in

@dismissedtub6717 7 месяцев назад

@@snizzle.gamestv8793 that could be due to the springs settling in, as sometimes they can get lower by driving it around

@iamasmurf1122 10 месяцев назад

You did not replace the struts , you can not use standard struts on going that low , standard struts are only good for stage 1 lowering of 30 mm , you go any lower you need to get shortened travel struts … these struts because you did not put specialised struts in will wear out prematurely , also they don’t look like quality struts so it probably doesn’t matter if they fail .. when they fail put in some Monroe GT struts , on my VY , V8 I have polybushings on top of dust cover , also a polyurethane strut mount top , Monroe’s and king springs I kept at stock height , not always the way to lower vehicles it takes out the highly engineered factory specifications
