Man, your butts must be more sensitive than mine. I rode around for a while and tried all 3 settings and could not notice a difference! Perhaps the selector or air suspension is all messed up?! I was unaware that you could drive at a height under the automatically selected one (middle).

I have 22" wheels on my V6, and I can definately feel a difference between the three modes. I am going to check out the H&R-lowering module to see of that can make the car even more sportier and firm.

i am very supprised at that?
in comfort mode the ride is "soft" the throttle responce is gentle and the rev limit at which she changes gear is quite low
in sport the ride is lower it is also very firm, and the gears hold for longer before changing up/down

i can notice a huge difference between the 2 (not so much in normal)
i think you might need to get it checked out, as it should be very noticable.

I should have said that I tried this while driving normally (think wife and kids in the truck) and not really pushing the envelope of performance. Tomorrow I will try that again and be more "spirited" with it and see if in fact there is a difference, or something is broken...

have a look in your manual, it says if you drive spiritdly round corners it will change from comfort to sport.
it should always lower at speeds over 70mph ish when in normal mode.for better stability at speed.

I have to admit that the Sport setting on the Air Suspension is fantastic, it takes me by suprise every time how well it handles. Everyone who get in for the first time around a fast corner believes we wont make it Apollo 13 style.

Hey, if you can find a source for that H&R module please let us know... I would be interested in the pricing for it. They do not offer it here in the US.

Group buy anyone?

Update: took the truck to a cobblestone road and tried the suspension button. There is a difference, but not as huge as I expected it to be.
