I believe the Holden version of the Omega is called the Commodore. The Monaro is the 2 door sporty looking thing.

Holden is the make, so Holden Commodore / Vauxhall Omega

The Monaro is the door door coupe, its branded same here just under Vauxhall, not Holden

Ok thanks. Just that down there, they seem to have a healthy after-market supply of poly suspension bushes. Found a site by a company called Nolathane that do loads of different bushes for their equivalent of the Omega. Only trouble is they are in Australia :D :'(
.....and I dont know if they would fit. :-[
We seem to be a long way behind in this area in the UK.
Sorry if this has come up before.

yes not sure if they would fit as the commodore certainly is wider and longer than the omega maybe you can check oem numbers?

Pretty sure Commodore is wider. Body kits won't fit with some adjustments

they're slightly wider and slightly longer, but have most of the same underframe. Well, mine does anyway ! It's quite a good design job actually.

The European Omega B is basically the same as the VT, VT-II or Vx Commodore and all of its variants, such as Senator, Omega, Statesman and Monaro

Front suspension is similar to Senator A (Monza), whilst rear suspension is Omega B, just without the camber/toe correction bar.

they do have proper engines though.
