    Went a bit nuts and did a full KW V3 coilover setup in my Monaro a few years ago and this video is bringing back some memories. I did note the front height on those coilovers seems way lower than factory - the KW gear I put in didn't end up much lower than stock at factory settings. Still buggered if I can nail the whole bump/rebound setting thing though.

      the sad thing is no one my age (18) is really into cool cars, they just want some half wrecked jdm, toyota, ute or a hybrid. when i got my vu 3.8 manual everyone thought i was dumb driving an hour to get it when there was a vz 3.6 auto ute with 2x the km and 4k more expensive parked on the main road here. i still dont know what goes through peoples heads

      I had a VY SS years ago and when I resprayed my wheels (same reason you did) I ended up using a colour called "Aluminum" and it was identical.Any silver I used just didn't look right, but yours have came out mint. I didn't quite hear in the video what colour and brand of Spray paint you used?.. Also loving the way she sits low now, it's just perfect mate. Well done. Take care. Drive safe. Victor.👍👍

      *What you talking about?.. She's sitting at the perfect height. VYs look perfect when they are just slightly lower in the rear, actually all Commodores do💯%. It also helps with clearance once he puts extractors on. Nothing worse than scraping your extractors on everything. That's why 99% of Commodore owners will put SSL in the Rear, and SL in the front. It looks best, and is most practical.💯% She's sitting perfect Marc. Don't listen to others negativity. Your car, your decision. Myself and everyone else will say it's sitting perfectly.*
