As the VXR8 has enough power for us we've made a list of things we feel the car needs

1,Pedders Extreme X Coilovers For looks and quality(lowered)
2,Road response For handling
3, Sports to performance pack (headers, Cat pipes O2 sensors, remap, K&N filter



Thats all it needs, now we've worked out what we want the outside of the car to look like hehe

Oh sorry, are talking about the R8.... no point doing suspension on it, to heavy, to big. Just fill it up with sandbags to lower it. wink

Wortec ones yes. But they are car specific. Ie, you cant put R8 ones on a monaro.

Can agree with the KW comments, fitted them to a car years ago (not our make) and it was terrible handling wise, rough as hell and really didnt like corners, destroyed the ride of the car.

You think thats ott i messed around with a pulsar a few years ago that was imported with coilovers on it and was very hard on the rd. When we stripped the suspension off turned out it had 1100lb yikes springs on it. Did launch well on them though laugh
