    Astra VXR now sitting on some KW adjustable coilovers

    just recently had the VXR in at TMS for some new suspension,
    KW varient 3 adjustable coilovers and what a huge difference it makes to the handling performance of an already great handling car on standard passive set up, think go kart but with some comfort : )

    looks the good Click here to enlarge

    would be tempted to go with twin muffler tips to make it look wider at the back... is that stock for it to come out at the middle?

    Everytime I see your car aussie, I want one myself, that suspension makes the whole car look heaps better too....

    I would also want to do some sort of twin system set up at the rear as Troy mentioned.

    Tell me you may have already talked about it, what are the current remaps available for the VXR and what are the new power levels.

    I've read you can get one that increases output to 211kw and 430nm - man that would be a serious Astra.
