Re: My custom Commodore
How much difference did the strut brace make? I'm thinking about going back to a VN for my daily commute to Murrarie. Nothing crazy just suspension mods and a manual if i can find a decent one.

Re: My custom Commodore
i can tell ya for sure a strut brace wont do **** on VN lol UNLESS!!!, you lower it, heavy duty control arms and sway bars, and then it will make a difference, i can feel the most difference when cornering around the track, front end is alot more tighter

Re: My custom Commodore
BTW, from the looks of that upper radiator hose, that engine compartment is begging for an inline 12......ok, at least a V-8.

Re: My custom Commodore
Bolt up a s/c and related hardware. You Aussie dudes are unique...you get good 3800 performance parts, but never had the supercharged version...
