THE SS's front suspension is by MacPherson struts with a direct acting stabiliser bar and progressive rate coil springs. The rear-end is a beefed up version of the semi-trailing link, coil-sprung independent system used on all Commodore and Statesman models. The SS uses Holden's lower-riding FE2 sports suspension package with revised spring rates at the front, along with a revised stabiliser bar diameter. At the back, spring rates and stabiliser bar diameter have also been revised, while gas pressure dampers have been adopted.
