When I eventually managed to pull it up, I got out and the rear rotors were blue with smoke coming off them.
It doesn't crash real well either, its something I'm pretty aware of when I'm driving it, before I blew the auto anyway lol.
Aussie car brakes up to VT/AUII were like opening the door and jamming a piece of wood against the road to pull up the car. |
You can change all that easy bro.
Put some better brake pads in it for a start and you will never get brake fade.
The
IRS need good shocks or they become total spastic due to the angles and toe in and out that can be displayed by such a 3rd rate
IRS setup. Holden did not get their act together until the VX
IRS to control the spastic angles displayed.
A VS can be made to handle very well and you do not have to lower it to the ground at all, that's for kids in the city's.
If you love to drive fast a strut brace works wonders in high speed steering control on crap roads esp.
So many people bag some cars as bad handling but it's only because they know nothing, even a HQ Holden can be made to handle very well.
