VF Coilovers

The VF Commodore already has a solid factory suspension setup, but once you start asking a bit more from the car, whether that’s sharper turn-in, better body control, or a cleaner, more aggressive stance, coilovers become one of the best upgrades you can make. Coilovers replace the traditional shock and spring combo with a fully integrated unit that lets you fine-tune how the car sits and behaves. For a big, powerful Aussie sedan like the VF, the difference is immediately noticeable: flatter cornering, improved stability, and a more connected feel to the road. Even simple daily driving feels more planted, predictable, and enjoyable.

The beauty of a well-designed coilover system is that it doesn’t have to make the car harsh or uncomfortable. MCA’s Pro-Comfort coilovers - our most popular option for VF owners, are engineered specifically to strike that balance between real-world comfort and genuinely improved handling. Thanks to MCA’s Fusion Valving Technology and local development program, you get a ride that absorbs bumps with ease while still giving you the responsiveness and control that the VF chassis deserves. Drivers who want a street-friendly setup that still feels premium and sporty will find this is a massive step up from the factory feel.

At Empire Performance, we love MCA because they’re built right here in Australia, tuned for Australian conditions, and backed by a 3-year Platinum Warranty. These aren’t generic overseas units. They’re purpose-built for cars like the VF, with features like 12-click adjustable damping, camber adjustment where applicable, reinforced mounts, helper springs, and a superior monotube design that handles heat and hard driving far better than stock suspension. Whether you're chasing a subtle drop or a more assertive stance, VF coilovers let you dial in the look and performance you want without compromising daily drivability.

Choosing the Right VF Coilovers

Choosing the right coilovers for your VF really comes down to how you use the car and what you want it to feel like. Some VF owners want a comfortable daily with a cleaner stance, while others want sharper handling for weekend runs or a more responsive feel through corners. The MCA Pro-Comforts we supply are designed to sit perfectly in that sweet spot, noticeably better handling without losing the comfort that makes a VF so enjoyable as a daily cruiser. With MCA’s 12-click damper adjustment, you can soften things up for long drives or firm them up when you want the car to feel more tied down. This flexibility makes them ideal for drivers who want upgrades they can actually live with.

Another major consideration is build quality and support. MCA coilovers are designed, developed, and assembled right here in Australia, which means they’re tailored for our roads, our driving conditions, and our expectations. Features like Fusion Valving Technology, helper springs, rugged-spec sealing, and reinforced mounts aren’t just marketing terms. They make a real-world difference in how the coilovers behave over time. The height adjustment is done through the spring seat rather than base height, avoiding the flaws that come with cheaper designs. You also get camber adjustment on applicable models, giving you more control over turn-in and front-end grip.

At Empire Performance, we’ve tested and supplied suspension upgrades for a huge range of VF builds, including street cars, mild performance setups, stance builds, and even track-prepped projects. We know what works and what doesn’t, and we’re always happy to help customers choose coilovers that suit their goals, not just their budget. MCA Pro-Comforts consistently come out on top for VF owners because they’re dependable, comfortable, and engineered to deliver a better driving experience every day. If you’re unsure which setup is right for you, we can walk you through the pros and cons based on how you want your VF to feel.

Installation, Fitment & Ownership

Most VF coilover kits, including the MCA Pro-Comforts, are designed as direct bolt-on replacements for the factory suspension, meaning no cutting, welding, or irreversible modifications. This makes installation straightforward for workshops and mechanically confident owners. Once fitted, you’ll want a proper wheel alignment to get the most out of the camber adjustment and ensure tyre wear stays even. MCA also includes damper adjuster extenders where needed, making it easier to fine-tune your setup without having to pull panels off the car. The height range on these kits runs from factory height down to around a 10mm tyre-to-fender gap, giving you plenty of flexibility without compromising drivability.

Legality is another important factor for Australian drivers, and coilovers are generally road-legal as long as they stay within your state’s ride height and modification guidelines. MCA coilovers are designed with street use in mind and offer a measured height adjustment range, making it easier to stay compliant. Their monotube design and rugged internal sealing also ensure they hold up well to daily driving, heat cycles, and the rougher road surfaces we deal with across Australia. With basic maintenance, they’ll deliver years of reliable performance.

What VF owners appreciate most is the long-term support. MCA offers a 3-year Platinum Warranty, and because everything is developed and assembled locally, replacement parts, servicing, and tuning advice are easy to access. And with Empire Performance offering free Australia-wide shipping on all MCA products, getting premium suspension for your VF has never been simpler. Whether you're chasing comfort, performance, or a more refined stance, properly installed coilovers transform the VF into a sharper, more enjoyable car without sacrificing the practicality you bought it for in the first place.
