Not really any affect.

However, remember that the modification(s) will cause a more 'firm ride', regardless which mode you are in.

I have done the sway bars modification on both my Verts - and both have "select ride". I, for one, love it!

Sounds like you got a great deal on the shocks. How would these be on a car that has longer bolts and 2/3 of the front bushings cut. I'm not on rough roads that often but have noticed the rougher ride when I am. Just wondering if these shocks would help over the originals. Thanks
