Advanced agility control question

okay I have been to this forum for a month already and no one seem to be talking about this ever
hence i am bringing it up and hope somebody can answer my question

my car is on the way and it will come with a sport button that stiffens the suspension up when u press it
my question is:
will lowering the car cause this function to break??
please advice

thanks and advance

Any change you make to the suspension will "break" the active feature.

We don't have active agility here in the US. I would imagine messing with the suspension would not be good.
