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.
Hell of a upload loved it. Inspiring the younger generation to enjoy their cars no matter what they are at the end of the day it only matters what u think of it 💪🏼
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
@@kylehocking420 as someone who owns a vz sv6 sedan I’d take an ecotec Ute any day if it’s a manual especially. But yeah it’s only the daily so idc what people think of it
You have made my day today, marc. For the last couple of days, I have had nothing but a bad couple of days me having a sore throat. I hope you keep yourself we'll and safe take care cheers from William.
Hey William! Sorry to hear you’re having a bad few days mate, I was sick last week with sore throat too and it was such a pain in the ass. Hope you feel better soon mate, all the best 😎
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.👍👍
Hey mate spray up the antenna with wd40 silicone spray multiple times turning the radio on and off and hit it down with a rubber mallet … worked for me
*She's sitting at the perfect height. I love it when Commodores sit just a tiny bit lower in the rear. Nothing worse than that 8Os look where they dropped the front and raised the rear. It looks crap, and makes it dangerous to drive. Yours is perfect height.💯%*
*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.*
Hey mate, how is the suspension going now? Looking at something similar for a VY project my son and I just bought. Also what polish did you use? Is it just a cutting compound?
Hey mate, awesome vids. Question about the coilovers, Can you explain to me what bits are needed to fit them to the fronts? Im not sure what bits i need on top of the coils to bolt them up to the front towers. TIA.

@@RecklessHS nothing wrong with vz 3.6 but the 3.8/vy back i agree had better engines and were easier cars to work on
