Suspension Dummy!

Hey Guys...

There are so many things about this suspension, I don't know where to begin... My 55 has the stock 19in wheels but everyone that sees it asks me where I got it lowered... It does look pretty damn cool, but I don't know how to optimize the settings. How do I keep it "lowered". Will the car always automatically adjust for the best road conditions? What would I use the "raise car" button for? Will spt1 or spt2 setting keep it lowered?

Also, the rear driver side fender well is about an inch off the tire when parked, but the passenger side rear is about 2 to 2.5 inches off the top of the tire. Does the car automatically level out? or do I have a problem?

The lowest setting would be sport 2, the raise button would be used for not scraping the front, so a big dip or pulling up to a curb, or simply to show off

The car will lower automatically after you park and lock it, not sure about the left and right side being uneven, sounds like a sensor is wacked, is it level when the car is running and in park?
