Coil Overs fro Monaro

[heavyduty1340]

Had the ol girl out on Caves Rd today, and it was very evident that she is in need of new shocks - would love to go coil overs this time.

Any recommendations/hook ups?

don't touch pedders stuff.

I rate bilstein shocks in my ve and vy

If you're keen on trying some serious track work go DMS but be prepared for some mucking around to get them sorted. Tim (VZ_V8) has them on the front of his ute if you'd like some details. They're the V8 BrUte system.

I think there are some GTO systems in the US that run coilovers on the rear as well?

Justin @ BYE has coil overs in his Monaro/vauxhaul , maybe drop in see him and go for a ride or something , unsure what he's running though.

Tein makes coilovers to fit commodores.

Justin runs Teins in the GTO. WA susp have a few options. think they are Tein, XYZ and another one

Go for the TEIN adjustable coilovers . http://www.fulcrumsuspensions.com.au/

[stumps.]

I had Teins in my vx, loved them

HSD do coilovers for Commodore.

HSD do coilovers for Commodore. LOL @ HSD.......would rather grinder cut springs, more reliable and comfortable
Dave Tre-Cool had issues with his and so many others. casing ends where the mounting bolts were cracking, shocks leaking, etc


Teins or Bilsteins for road + some track work
WA Suspensions sell the Teins but you're probably better off buying straight from Fulcrum and getting someone down south to install them for you unless you got a day to lose coming up to Perth
Speak to Fulcrum about what they would recommend because they also have different spring options and can adjust the valving.

I've had the Teins on mine from the day fulcrum released them and have done 95,000km on them so far.
Only thing I have done to them is upgrade the springs early on to help improve the handling

Not sure if this is for a pair or all 4 corners but these g-force ones seem to be quite a bit better value than pedders.

Not sure if you ended up going ahead with anything Faedy but I have the DMS coilovers as Ev mentioned above and am wrapped with them. They are a very high quality, solid unit and respond perfectly on the track.

Geez they look good

Ive got Bart sorting me out for them now

What front sway bar have you got there?

[heavyduty1340]

My Black SSV Sportwagon is now sold so time to fix the old whale up a bit.

[Tre-Cool]

those coilovers would not pass pits btw as there is no bracket to hold the brake line.

had the same problem with the ones on my ve.

not that coilovers would be the least of your problems. haha

LOL I got TEINs coming for it

Looking at the sway bar bracket one would add to it for the hose mount .
