adjustable shocks don't seem to adjust...
Ever since I got my '99 Coupe, the "adjustable" shocks don't seem to "adjust" very much. If I'm driving down the highway and go from tour to performance, their is little difference in the ride quality, but if I'm going around a tight corner I can notice the car doesn't seem to "float" as much when it's in performance. :confused:
I'm not getting any error codes so I really don't think it's broken - I'm probably just not looking at the right thing. Does anyone know what I should look for when switching between Tour and Performance and how I can best test it out? Thanks! :cool:

Hi,
See my response in the following thread for a comparison to the way I've experienced the F45 system working: http://216.205.94.74/zerothread?id=141690
Also, are you running the factory recommended air pressure in your tires? It makes a big difference on the way the F45 responds.
Regards,

Also if your running non run-craps you might need to adjust the PSI.
I've found with my tires I had to increase the PSI by 2 pounds. Before there wasn't much difference but now its working the way I expect it to.

Wow, thanks for the link to that post, that was exactly what I was looking for. :yesnod: As for the PSI, I'm running a little high right now (34 PSI) so I think I'll drop it by a pound or two over the next couple of days and see how it rides in the different modes.
Thanks!
