Sport 1, anyone?

Does anyone here truly utilize the "Sport 1" setting for the Airmatic?

If I'm riding around in comfort mode and want to firm up a bit, I automatically double-tap the button to Sport 2.......I mean, who wants to be half-sporty or kind of firm, right?

Anyone else?

I do use mine. You can really tell a difference between the 3 settings with a lowering module.

I leave mine in sport 1 as a default, and use sport 2 when I'm hauling ***.

3 mode riding

I would challenge everyone with the 3 mode suspension to a “blind taste test”. Have a friend cover up the dash and button indicators chose a mode and have you drive and state how the car handles. Have him do this 5 or six times keeping score as to what you impressions are. You will most likely find some very interesting results. Is it in the road or is it in the mind? Only this test will show for sure.

Interesting responses.

The Chicago roadways are more amenable to the "comfort" setting.

On the rare occasion that someone challenges me, I go Defcon II.

Sport 2 all the time in my CLS. I use C only if someone is sleeping in the passenger seat and I don't want to wake them up.

sport 2 all the time for me. I dont drive the car often, so it doesnt bother me much.

The car sits a wee bit lower in sport modes too doesnt it? Since my car isnt lowered, I do what I can to get low

Yes, it does. If you don't want to get a module, why not modify your links? You can always de-mod them. Great looking rims!
