I did a little more in-depth test-driving this evening and there is a definite difference in ride quality, especially in Sport mode. The car is noticably more stable under hard braking when the nose dives down. Again, not a huge change, but glad I did the recalibration and suggest anyone who has the scan tool and is lowered to perform it. I'm happy to perform it for anyone in the DFW-area to increase our sample size and feedback.


The instructions the tool gives is to have >3 gallons of fuel in the tank and to have the car completely empty of passengers & cargo.

Actually, now that I think about it, the DSC Sport Controller instructions may have said no passengers and cargo for zeroing ride height, I don't remember.
