Judging by the one I removed from my VZ Adventra, it will do one thing - collect oil from your PCV blowoff! Mine had about 100mL in it! I did the reverse of what you have done. I replaced the resonator version with a straight version. Wasn't able to measure any difference in performance...

BTW, do the resonators on the 190 intake tube have anything to do with power or efficiency, or are they just for noise moderation?

Oh, it's definitely due to the raised springs + bigger tyres to some extent, though others with the exact same setup report no ESP panics. It's due for a service in the next week or so. I'll get them to clean the ABS sensors while they're at it. If still no good, I'll try moving the yaw sensor...

I think you may have a point. Perhaps stiffening it would not be a good thing. I'm still puzzled that some others who claim to have the identical setup with raised springs & larger tyres are not having my problem. Maybe more investigation... Of course, I could always go back to plan A, which...

Suppliers say no.

Just googled this a the problem just occurred. Yep - Driver's side rear door. Locking tab tries to go down & fails. Wd-40 coming up.

Will a regular VZ Commodore REAR sway bar fit a VZ Adventra? What about a FRONT one?

No point. It was doing it before I upped the tyre size. It got worse after I increased tyre size, until I increased tyre pressure.

Will a regular VZ rear sway bar fit an Adventra?

They are the correct springs: HOLDEN ADVENTRA VYII VZ 10/2003 - 2006 - Fit your Vehicle - King Springs Automotive Aftermarket Springs They don't specify V6 versus V8. Avalanches were like hen's teeth, but I might have to start looking....

Easier said than done. It's an Adventra. The front sway bar is unique to accommodate the AWD. Maybe a rear sway bar would be the same shape as for a VZ Commodore, but I think it's heavier. Someone else suggested I could get one from an Avalanche, but good luck with that, :-\ In any case, I'm...

Yes, they add about 10mm to the height on top of the raised springs 30mm or so.

SUMMARY: Can I reduce body roll by doubling the front sway bar? Since I raised the suspension on my VZ Adventra LX6, using Kings Springs, I have had one problem: in a tight corner, the outer front wheel dips down really noticeably. This would be body roll, except that the rear doesn't dip as...

Rightly or wrongly, Bitdefender flags that site as being full of malware. Having said that, while generic software reads most stuff, this Holden-specific software does look quite unique.

I've had those lights for a while, and I love them. The DRL's are great, and the turn indicators show up much better than the stock ones. The downside is that the high beam setup is very weak compared to the stock setup.
