Air suspension
When you lower the car using the air suspenion button you can tell the difference and how many inches does it lower? Also does anyone have pics of it lowered and regular? Thank you

you can only raise it and yes, you can feel it if you have your foot out the door touching the floor or if you're focused on an object out the window.

i'm not 100% certain, but i think it lowers back down once you hit a certain speed. i've never had to raise it up...only to see what the button does when i first got the car.

I believe it lowers back down once you hit 60mph.

The car has 3 ride settings. Normal, sport 1, sport 2

Normal = standard height
s1 = drops aprox. 1/2 inch
s2 = dropped 1 inch fron standard height (approx)

to raise the car.... separate button/adjustment. Car raises about 2 inches.

This setting was just meant to go over big speed bumps, get out of driveway with a big curb/gutter. (slow speed) Not meant for travel.

Yes, I drive the car in sport 2 most of the time. When I come to a spot I think the front end might scrape (mostly coming out of a driveway) I push the raise button, go over the bump, then push it to return to my designated ride setting.

i thought sport 1 and sport 2 modes just made the suspension stiffer.
are u sure it adjusts height as well?
