Do you feel the Tems?

I drive in the Normal position MOST of the time. Smoother for these rough streets.

When cornering hard (fast, like 40-50mph) from one street to the next, the 3rd (hardest) position will come on. The car does NOT sway or lean. I can feel the difference when it stiffens.

Also when coming to a stop quickly from over 35mph, 3rd position keeps the front end from nose diving.

I use Sport position when its really windy, as it helps keep the car from being pushed around.

And I use it when ever I go "sporting" in the mtns.

3rd posiotion is way too stiff for (me) just driving around. I like to keep my head comfortable, and not bobby up & down, (like those guys in the totally lowered Hondas).

I just leave mine in sport. And I can tell a huge difference when I switch it around.

I live in a rock road and I can tell when its on sport and normal, but on the road I can't really tell that much

I like my ride stiff. But I agree the 3rd position is too much to just set it there unless it's a rail car and never driven on the street. Just my opinion.

I leave mine in sport for 90% of my driving. Because in normal..., the car rides like a fugg'n lincoln.

In sport. She's like, cat like reflexes baby. I can zip in and out of and all around this small kentucky town because the rollers just don't see someone driving down this blvd like I would if I were on sunset.
