That was quick. How long has the car been out in Oz?

theres nothing like quick mods :D

I am still waiting on all the info, but it has been out there long enough.

The car has been out there since June, Whiteline also has swaybars available already, both adjustable and non-adjustable. They've really only just started on the mods for the VEs.

I need to find the pic Pete showed of the Commie/G8 rear suspension to see how difficult changing sway bars on this car is going to be.

Not necessarily all of those, but yes.

tony,

So how does your VE bump stop kit differ from OE?

Do you have lowering springs, and, if so, how much will they lower the car?

I am still waiting for all the data of the parts. I am pretty sure that Whiteline will have springs, sway bars and other items as well. I will let everyone know about that stuff when I hear. rlsedition, I will let you know any info I get on these parts as soon as I get it. If I am not satisfied, I will just have to call down under and see if I can speak with a rep that knows about it.

I noticed the skid plate is not there.

Did Holden ax the skid plate on this model?
