Hi All,

Finally bit the bullet and had her lowered. Went to pedders and had the lowered springs put on. I have taken a number of before and after shots which are below if interested. I took the after pics about 30 min after picking her up. My camera work is average and for that I apologise. In person the car looks so much nicer, certainly lower (not sure if easily seen in the pics). Also feels like it sticks to the road a lot better. Anyways here are the pics.

Cheers
Baz

In http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=68171&page=3 Bazza76 (not the same guy) also had his done with Pedders and said they've come down another 10mm now in 1800km. That would have this one sitting pretty nicely then.

Easy to say when it isn't your car.

Do you mean dyno'd? I had mine done a while ago now after I had the cat back exhaust done. From memory it made about 219 rwkw stock and almost 239 rwkw after exhaust. No idea what that equates to in HP.

Mate if you have 235 at the rear wheels standard you're doing better than every other VE V8 thus far. Most are in the hight teens to low twenties (from what I have seen anyways). I have a dual 3" sureflo exhaust in mild steel. Sounds fantastic. Go to www.surefloexhaust.com.au and look in VE section.

Yeah the guys at the shop were pretty impressed with the run they said i must have gotten a freak. Be interested to see what difference the exhaust makes as they said its running rich.
Cheers Rob...
