What setting do you C5 owners with F45 suspension usually drive in? I usually keep mine in sport mode and use Touring on bumpy roads and Performance when I want to have a little fun

. Although, I don't find that much of a difference between the three settings. They're more like stiff, stiffer, and stiffest. That's just my opinion.

I can tell a noticable difference in handling, especially on Tour mode. I took a turn too fast once on tour mode and that was the only time I have ever had my back end slide out in a turn. Thankfully I had Active Hanlding on and that saved me from skidding out into a curb.

Had F45 but went to coilovers
With the F45 though, I mostly kept it in performance and dropped it down to tour whenever I hit bumpy parts of the freeways

Since I lowered my car, I have some extra preload so I mostly keep it on "Tour". Before that, I kept it at "Sport". If I use "Perf" I feel like a ricer bouncing around on the freeway
