Try the shocks. And umm.. look for cracks in the chassis? (Hope that it is NOT that.) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

A lot of VLs are like that. Being a 21-22 year old car you'll need new suspension all round and while your doing that you might as well get lowered springs and short stroke shocks. Try that first, then start looking at other things

the shocks have no effect on ride height (assuming no clown on here has air shocks), its the springs... also look at the height difference between a full and empty tank of gas

So about a month back, we bought the rear spares panel for under the back windscreen... Then about a week ago, i notice a small crack in the front windscreen...No problem, should have plenty of time left on the warrant - yeah 3 days Couldnt even get a dodgey warrant for it Hopefully goes in to the Panel Beater in the next couple of days for the front rust and new windscreen...then will have to do the back aswell Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
