    I'm after some opinions about the VY SS utes. Either series 1 or 2. I have a few questions:

    How well do they tow when lowered?
    Do they have bad camber wear when lowered?
    Engine problems and any other mechanical faults?

    So any owners out there can you just shoot me some feedback about your ss ute.

    Thank you,

    Nick

    I'm pretty sure that ANY commodore ute has awesome tyre wear after lowering it - i just popped a tyre today and looked at my tread. definately need a camber kit..

    Known fact towing increases tyre wear and un-even too. One of the reasons I haven't got around to having a towbar installed on mine = instant suspension upgrade also.

    Mate at work towed around a ride on in the back of his for a weekend and chewed out a set of tyres pretty much straight away.
