Only very slightly. Hardly worth mentioning really, and I'm very, very picky about any small change in the car. Most people wouldn't even notice.

Uncle tone, you must be scraping everywhere ... these things are pretty low as it is ... you cant tell me you havent scratched the bottom of the front bar? I have noticed that with people in the car with the standard springs no matter how gentle and careful you are you are bound to scratch the bumper on regular roads / driveways etc...

Not to mention the underside ... ours scraps regularly at standard height, I hate to think what would happen if we lowered it an inch.

Looks tops, no doubt about it ... but it hits enough things as it is ... :bawl:

Suspension Center in Kealba, ask for Rob, has already dumped a VE GTS on its belly whilst still retaining the MSC, cheers...

Quadrant Suspepensions in Berwick might be worth a look. I work close by and there's a regular stream of HSVs passing through their establishment.

I got the street pack which is Suspension and Exhaust for about $2,000.

Yeh I have Quadrant Bilstein on mine. See pics in the My Ride Section of the LS1 forum - "Update on CalaisV Sleeper project".

Just checked their site and can't see a price but from memory it was competitively priced - mid 500s fitted with alignment and I think modified bumpstops. Also from memory I think you have to go to one of their agents to have it done i.e. don't know that you can just get supply only.

Just checked: WA Walkinshaw Performance is in Freo.
