Ride quality depending on chassis height?

[TayTaySD]

I find it very hard to tell if there is a difference in ride quality when going between chassis heights. Normal, Lowered, Low.
Does anyone know how much the strut settings actually change? Sure on big bumps less travel to soak them up.

While I am on the topic, why won't the car chassis go into "Lift" at any speed? I find it silly that I cannot set it to lift
while driving over speed bumps, must nearly stop before it will lift. I'd be fine if it had a reasonable speed (50 Mph?).

This canot be a safety issue. Sure it handles better, gets better range at lower heights so I would not really drive
at lifted height.

I have 20" wheels.

I notice it's a little firmer in low, like you say probably due to reduced travel. Really marginal difference though, still rides excellent overall.

I find I can only activate lift at 20mph or less which is fine for my needs.

I have a light in my neighborhood that has a dip in it. If I have to stop for the light the suspension will auto lift, if I don't need to stop it won't lift because I'm going ~40Mph, these kind of dips in roads are a problem. I don't understand why the system has this 20Mph level it won't work above.

that is how it is designed to work.

I understand but this is a silly restriction. I can see not wanting to drive the car at 80mph at its tallest setting, but see no problem at normal speeds.

Might be an issue with suspension travel vs. needed suspension compliance above at higher speeds...
Tesla Model S air suspension had the same restriction.
