Yes, the RRS has it. How come your car dosen't have it?

Try going at 100 mph (160 km/h) for longer than 5 seconds. Your car should lower by 20 mm (0.8 inch).
If it does not, take it back to the dealer... .

Let us know how you get along. Malaysia Boleh!

If the suspension drops after 100, how do you know, is there a light on the dash,on the old p38 Range Rover, there was alight on the dash showing you which position the suspension was in(4 positions) and you could manually set the motorway height and look it there, but not the Sport.

Some of the technical bods will know can the ECU be accessed to alter the suspension heights

1 access height
2 motorway
3 normal

I don't remember there being a visual indication of it and if you can sense your car lowering by 20mm whilst driving at 100mph, then maybe you should consider applying for superhero school!

We've "discussed" (argued) at length that maybe 100mph was never the right speed for the car to lower for aerodynamic purposes, but 100mph it is.... there was a few indepth threads about all this during last year, Sportman, should you decide you want to look for them

Like it here? Then Donate to RRSPORT!!

The 4x4 display on the dash says "Lowering" when it lowers. 

I wonder how many of us get a 3 month ban over here now for trying it & getting nicked

I saw one RRS (supercharged) passing by me incredibly fast, and I notice it was lower that a normal height
maybe modified one I'm not sure  2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, Buckingham Blue, Ivory converted to HST Silver

It says "lowered", I think, and the sat nav is still working and still giving directions regardless of what's displayed.

I doubt you really need the sat nav to show a map when travelling at 105 mph anyway.

Yes, my Dealer says you can now get them lowered. That'll look good, just dont go offroad?

From land rover web site...

"Electronic cross-linked Air suspension

Ride, handling, control and balance are all exceptional due to independent front and rear suspension. Computer controlled cross-linked air springs over each wheel supply further levels of on-road refinement and composure under all road conditions, helping maintain a level ride height irrespective of load. Our system also enables exceptional wheel articulation for outstanding off-road handling and Traction"

level ride height irrespective of load that's cool  2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, Buckingham Blue, Ivory converted to HST Silver
