I have just completed fitting VS front struts into my VH Commodore. I used the lower control arms, knuckles/hubs and struts from the VS. I fitted Koni inserts to the struts and they have the same diameter top shaft as the VH so it fitted my strut top ok. I think standard VR/VS strut shafts are bigger diameter which may cause some problems but some aftermarked strut tops may be able to accommodate this. I have slid my strut tops right in to find out the maximum negative camber i can get and its heaps! Possibly 5 degrees but i can slide the tops out to make it less, only problem then is I have to see how close the tyres are to the guard. I havn't hooked up any steering to it yet, i will have to use longer rack ends or put extenders in between the rack end and tie rod end like the Commodore Cup guys do. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'm not sure about ride height, i can just wind it up or down anyway! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey,on the subject of vr/vs commodores, will a vr/vs 5 speed gearbox fit a vl if I put my vl housing on? And will the tail shaft line up probably? Thanks Sent from my ZTE Blade Q Lux using Calais Turbo mobile app
