Ummm, thats an indication your shocks are in need of replacement. The ride selector doesn't do much. I just replaced my f45 shocks with c6 Z06 shocks, great deal and it handles like a dream. My video on the conversion will be out very soon.

I've read that when the F45 shocks go bad, they go soft not hard. Check your DIC DTC's for help. Maybe your switch is bad.

My system still works quite well after 9 years & 50K miles.
