Muncie Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Been looking around the marketplace for new springs and shocks for my VY COMMODORE guessing the algorithm noticed. I'm not looking to slam my car but some flexibility would be nice if it were adjustable led me to finding below Maxpeedingrods coilover setup incredulously cheap! It will be road legal im not about TikTok views so needs to get thumbs up from a certifier down the track. But seriously is this a scam or manufactured from Taiwan grade cheese alloy. All the parts are infact commodore shaped and instructions do list what they don't fit indicating they have some feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
