VS 5lt S ute
My VS 5Lt ute if you touch brakes on wet road the arse end comes around, it's lowered 5" with 20" X 8" rims and tyres. I've heard that when you lower the back that there is some sort of rear brake adjustment but I can't find any info on this, if you have the answer I would be wrapped.

On the Utes there is a brake bias valve for the rear brakes that adjust the rear brake bias when there is a load on the rear. IF you have a look under the back there is a valve with a chain attached to the panhard rod (I believe) that will need adjustment to suit the lower ride height.

Yeah, that's right. Pretty certain from memory need to shorten length for lowering. Probably have to take a link out if you have lowered it a huge amount.
On the maloo there's a threaded eyelet on pan hard end and I got away with ajusting that as I only went to fe2 height
Only I can't be 100 % without looking and utes in Newcastle and I'm in S.E. QLD until weekend
