Auto-lowering at speed and ROW

Does anyone know if European cars ride lower at highway speeds than US cars?

I know US cars sit higher normally than cars set to ROW (Rest Of World), but its my understanding that the cars lower automatically (though I don't know at what speed).

Anyone know any details about the lowering at speed, and if there's any difference at speed between US and ROW cars?

Thanks!

I think the Euro cars ( set at ROW) also lower at speeds over 80-85 mph like US set ones. Do you have your car set at ROW?

No, not yet. I was hoping that setting it to ROW would lower it at cruise speed and hence improve the ride quality a bit (less pressure in the struts needed to achieve the ride height desired).

Yup, that's the plate. Haven't posted pictures yet, but plan to get around to it soon!
