Sorry that I could´t help you, then I have the ADS system. However, I hope that we see some pictures when you have put the sporty shocks on the car. Take pictures before and after

No, I think there is no big differens (at normal speed) between the normal and stiff ride. However, when I drove 150 mph through curves without "stiffnes" it was a bit unsteady, but with the ADS on alert, it was much better.
