Welcome to Novaload mate. There are many XE'd Nova owners here; any problems with your installation refer to the mechanical part of the forum and start your own thread. I'm sure the lad here can help, I've found this to be one of the better quality forums for straightforward, realistic advice from people who know what their talking about!

[ajsvalver]

thankyou peolple very pleasant bunch regards andy

[Ste L]

easy conversion, and being a technician, you shouldn't have a problem

[ajsvalver]

welcome to the site, as already said you will have hardly any problems with the conversion. Just remember to throw the front antiroll bar away and your onto a winner lol

[novabex]

Ello. Your not far from me.

Welcome to NL. :D

[ajsvalver]

i did get the anti roll bar blocks with the conversion kit, do they cause problems on ground clearance or is it still advisable to get rid ? thanks bex

[Dan]

vauxhall in their infinite wisdom made the worst possible arb setup possible as attaching it to the tie bars is bordering onto the realms of pointless. With standard suspension some people prefer to keep them insitu to minimalize the roll. When you start adding uprated suspension/coilovers with higher poundage spring rates and lower ride heights they become a hinderance and can make things worse rather than better.

Alot of us (most) dont run them anymore, i know i threw min in the bin years ago after back to back testing and will never entertain running one again :thumb:

[ajsvalver]

cool thanks for that info, i will see how things go and at least if problems arise i know i can remove it :)

[Mike]

Howdo and welcome, yeah as said thres loads of people on here who know just about everything there is to know about nova's so you'll be fine!


Just remember to throw the front antiroll bar away and your onto a winner lol
