i put LWB vitara springs in the front, got a 2in lift, then did the strut top flip. good as.

what model commodore springs did you put in the rear? used the LWB vitara springs in the rear aswell, but got next to nothing. have been trying to find some rear c33 laurel springs, but no luck.
late 80's/early 90's commodore rear struts go into the rear, do the job well.

for the rear c33 springs and long shocks will give you lots of travel but dont forget to lengthen your diff breather and remove the handbrake cable holder things as the cable gats a bit tight

mine were 2nd hand air shocks from a vk commodore but even new shouldnt be to pricey.
