I've only had 1 alignment done, that was on my 2L, I took it to a place in Browns Bay and for some reason the guy thought it had been lowered and said I'd have to go to Mag & Turbo or something, suspension is stock though so it was ok there.

Yeah i was actually there this afternoon...Thought i had to get my front struts shortened for the lowered springs, but the guy didnt think it was needed so i saved about 150 bucks lol
Ill have to take it back there for an Alignment when its done...

Alignments should be done every 5,000kms and after any height change as that affects the alignment big time
I’ve never heard of a shop that can’t do an alignment on lowered cars, I do know of some places that don’t have big enough clamps to fit on large rims. I had to remove my Walky front bar for the lasers to see each other across the front each time I got an alignment

Sorry Matt, but unfortunately it can't be measured! No equipment measures such small amounts!
Just nabbed the rear shocks from the Black VLC as i noticed they had been recently replaced...
They are shorter than standard and are like new...
KYB Gas Shocks, are they any good?

Already done Just wanted to see if they were a good brand etc...
They've certainly made a difference, now the front bounces around
Cheers Guys

KYB are a reasonably good brand. The make a few options for the rear of live axel commodores. A few shortened options, one of which is a heavy duty short stroke which i have been told is a very good shock.
They tend to be cheaper than Monroe and i have heard they are great value for money.
I think Matt (4sakenvl) is using KYB's in his car - i'm not 100% sure though - i'm sure he will confirm on deny

I could get really lucky and find the front struts in the VLC have been changed aswell (in my dreams... )
Seems someone actually cared for the car once, lowering it with King's and Shortened Shocks etc...shame its fcuked now
