The CV8 is a modern day classic! Lower it a little, stiffen the springs or upgrade the brakes - but don’t fit high-rider suspension. Given you work in Nimbin, we would have assumed the CV8 would have been about as popular as a fart in a lift, but kudos to you for sticking with it and not being tempted to trade it on a VW Kombi. We are all agreed, if we lived (or worked) in Nimbin we would don the kaftan, wear loose fitting underwear and smoke the whacky tobbacy under the nearest tree. But we could never get stoned enough to think raising the old CV8 further off the ground to be a good idea. Why not buy an old Commodore and fit the kit to that. Drive it for 6 months. Then, if you are absolutely convinced it is the right way to go

This might seem silly but. I have 2002 CV8 Monaro. It has 156Ks on it and I drive it daily. I got the car, and the debt from my 27 year realtionship breakup. So I work in Nimbin NSW and the roads are absolutly crap. I have tried selling the car but I am not giving it away. So I am thinking of making the car suit my needs as my other problem is once its gone what do I get? I can travel on 10.3 ltr/phk so ecomony is ok and it is a Monaro. I am thinking of whacking High rider suspension under it. Currently mine is lowered and its a pain in the back. I was actually thinking of finding a Adventra suspension setup and whacking it all under my Monaro. Its my car so I have no problem making it MY car. Whats your thoughts? Not so much intersted in resale as I like to drive to drive the beast and it does look good. I have images of Mad Max's Ford in my mind when I think of the Monaro with Adventra kit underneath it. Seems kinds a cool to me. So what do you think? Be kind. Rob.
