Of course, the firmer set-up reduces bodyroll, lifting Commodore SS's handling prowess over other VY models by making it more agile during changes of direction and more willing to hold a tight line. But the trade-off is ride comfort, which is further reduced by the use of lower profile 18-inch rubber. Despite detail changes to the front suspension's compression damping, including the addition of a progressive low speed disc stack aimed at increasing front-end compliance, the ride is now best described as busy. Still, combined with far better rear wheel location thanks to VXII's Control-Link IRS, plus the refreshing new steering, the almost HSV-firm ride is a small price to pay for Commodore SS's more accomplished dynamics.
