looks like an awesome bit of kit  im not going all out with mine decided camber adjustment isnt going to be a priority for me although nice the handbrake issues and added cost just put it out of my reach. thanks for the positive comments to

Been a while since an update finnaly got my new wheels didnt manage to make motorex  with it due to the fact ive been busy getting ready for harrop ultimate street car also been looking into a new watts link setup for the rear end from a company  called grunt performance they now do a first gen commodore watts link setup with full floater and camber adjustment ill try and put in update of progress  with the diff as it happens.

Wheels

Diff setup

I can help with this one im assuming  your car is not a factory abs model  although i have seen some with that fitting  but you need a rear chasis to diff hose from a vn to vs live axle non abs they have those  early almost 6 hex type  but make  sure  you dont end up with a vb to vl hose also the exact  same fittings almost but if you look at the inside of yours it requires a 3/16 ball flare vb to vl are standard double flare if your in vic go try abs brakes or if you know anyone  in the industry  take or sent your existing  lines to atap they did mine like this quite cheap and all adr approved in braided
