Whether it&#8217;s a VB sedan, a VC SL\/E, a VH Vacationer or a V8-powered street machine, lowering can give these early Commodores a tougher stance, improved handling and a more modern look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, lowering a Commodore involves more than simply fitting shorter springs. Ride quality, suspension travel, wheel alignment and tyre clearance all need to be considered to achieve the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Done properly, a lowered Commodore can handle better, look fantastic and remain comfortable enough for regular driving. Done poorly, it can become uncomfortable, difficult to drive and prone to suspension problems.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"fu_ebay_0\"><!-- Presentation: cols = 4, rows = 2, slideshow = Manual, slides = 3, slideId = 0 --><div class=\"fu_ebay_results_container \">\n<h5 class=\"fu_ebay_results_title\" style=\"display: block !important;\">\n<a name=\"fu_slidetop_0\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com.au\/?mkcid=1&#038;mkrid=705-53470-19255-0&#038;siteid=15&#038;campid=5339152561&#038;customid=5339151688&#038;toolid=10049&#038;mkevt=1\" class=\"fu_ebay\" style=\"display:inline !important;\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/australianholden.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/fast-ebay-listings\/US\/Right_Now_108x45.gif?resize=108%2C45&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"border:0;display:block !important;\" width=\"108\" height=\"45\" alt=\"Right Now on eBay\"\/><\/a>&nbsp;Coilovers<\/h5>\nLoading&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script>\n<!--\nvar content_fu_ebay_0 = null;\nvar waitForDepends_fu_ebay_0 = setInterval(function () {\n  if (typeof jQuery !== \"undefined\") {\n  if (window.fu_is_bot_useragent !== undefined) {\n    clearInterval(waitForDepends_fu_ebay_0);\n    if (typeof jQuery.ajax == \"undefined\") {\n      console.log(\"Fast eBay Listings: jQuery.ajax missing.

choose to lower their Commodores for several reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improved appearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced body roll<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better cornering stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More aggressive stance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced road presence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many enthusiasts, lowering is the first suspension modification performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factory Ride Height<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When new, VB, VC and VH Commodores sat relatively high compared with modern vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factory Design Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ride comfort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ground clearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Load carrying capacity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 40 years, many original springs have sagged unevenly, making ride height difficult to assess accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Should You Lower It?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ideal ride height depends on intended vehicle use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Typical Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Standard Height<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Factory

use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited practicality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most street-driven Commodores, low-height springs offer the best compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Lowering Springs<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Product: King Springs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Springs remain one of the most popular choices for Australian Holden enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Excellent ride

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rear suspension is often overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sagging rear springs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worn trailing arm bushes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Panhard rod movement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replacing worn rear components improves stability significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Panhard Rod Bush Upgrades<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rear axle relies heavily on the Panhard rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Better axle control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved cornering stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced rear-end movement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially beneficial on lowered vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ground Clearance Issues<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lower vehicles naturally have reduced clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Areas at Risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exhaust systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crossmembers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Front spoilers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider local road conditions before selecting spring height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Street Setup<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most Commodore owners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Package<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>King Springs Low<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>KYB Excel-G shocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nolathane bushes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wheel alignment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This setup delivers excellent appearance and handling without compromising practicality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Show Car Setup<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For owners prioritising appearance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Package<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Super Low springs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performance shocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Larger wheels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trade-Offs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduced ride quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less ground clearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased tyre clearance concerns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Lowering Mistakes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Going Too Low<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excessive lowering often creates more problems than benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retaining Worn Shocks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New springs cannot compensate for worn dampers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ignoring Bush Wear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Old bushes reduce suspension performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skipping Alignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common and costly mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Lowering Package<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a street-driven VB, VC or VH Commodore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ultimate Street Package<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>King Springs Low<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>KYB Excel-G shocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nolathane bush kit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whiteline sway bars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional wheel alignment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This combination improves appearance, handling and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Lowering Worth It?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most enthusiasts, absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A properly lowered Commodore not only looks significantly better but often handles better than a factory-height vehicle with worn suspension. Modern springs and shock absorbers can transform the driving experience while maintaining everyday usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key is selecting quality components and avoiding excessive ride-height reductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/australianholden.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/16\/vb-vc-and-vh-commodore-suspension-problems\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"7362\">VB, VC and VH Commodore Suspension Problems<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Best Suspension Upgrades for VB, VC and VH Commodores<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/australianholden.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/16\/vb-vc-and-vh-commodore-suspension-problems\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"7362\">VB, VC and VH Commodore Suspension Problems<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/australianholden.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/16\/how-to-inspect-an-early-commodore-before-buying\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"7348\">How to Inspect an Early Commodore Before Buying<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Best Transmission Fluids for Classic Commodores<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Best Rust Prevention Products for Classic Commodores<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few modifications improve the appearance of a classic Commodore as dramatically as lowering the suspension.
