nice work VSH. so theres 20kg in it. thats quite a bit.

re: springs. have never, ever liked the pedders brown. it is brown. i know the saloon car class use all their crap. just not a fan.
i have 50mm low(er) kings for the back and KYBs
i am still undecided on the front springs. don't know what to do there. might start with king SL and shortened konis and go from there.

I've heard lovells are really good. I'll be using them in the VP.

[vlad01]

lol yeah I think they have a better port folio than kings haha.

machine up some solid alloy bushes for certain areas, eg panhard bar, makes a difference

[yoda69]

If you can swap in a vx2 or later rear end with the toe control link it makes a difference, minimises toe angle changes under acceleration and braking.
Need to swap entire rear and subframe as Chanel's were made to VT/vx parts do even though some mourning points appear to be there they are not the same as the final solution used in VX2 and later.
There was a good write up in Street Machine a few years back on this and where to fit stiffer bushes and where to use original, unfortunately threw all my old issues out when I moved.
I also have a preference of Super Pro or original bushes .

Thats a good mod that the later rear end is a ripper. I've seen that done to a VS once to.

yoda/dylan, yeah i've heard same about the vx2 and later diff cradle swap. is it a bolt in affair the the early VT do you know? cradles are cheap as....

[yoda69]

I believe so, need to get entire cradle, control arms and the extra links. If you get a complete assembly with diff, driveshafts, etc, should be able to unbolt one and bolt the other in. Also much easier to do all the bushes when it's out of the vehicle.

[Dylan]

Yep get a whole VY ass end and go for it

[psyolent]

roger that. thanks dudes
am told there is some black voodoo magic in aligning the cradle during install? or is that up to the wheel alignment place when you drop it off?
