Adaptive Suspension Package Comfort question

Anyone has this option called is called option 2VM "Adaptive Suspension Package Comfort"

I was wondering if this suspension lowers the car height or is just an adjustable suspension? My car is the first F15 that will come with that feature and nobody knows much about it......

I've ordered it as well...
2VM is rear air axle suspension + dynamic dampers...
I was explained that it automatically adjusts its height based on the load. (Rear air axle suspension that is)...
The dynamic dampers help with a smoother ride so I was told.

Well, we are on the same page, my car is arriving to the port this Monday, and hopefully will get it by Friday 18th...

Reading this forum is becoming too expensive. I just emailed my rep to see if it is too late to add this option!

Made it with 20 minutes to spare before it went into production (so past the official time for amendments). Great assistance from my rep and one of his managers.

Depending on the drive setting you use, the M adaptive Suspesion will adjust the ride height of the car.

When I was messing around with me car this past weekend, I noticied that when I put the car in Sport, the rear suspesion visibly lowered about half an inch to an inch.

Then when I put the car back into comfort, you can actually see the car suspension raise the body of the car.

Thanks but you are talking about the M Sport adaptive suspension, which is not the same as the adaptive comfort suspension..... or is it?

ah. I was under the impression that maybe the package was exactly the same but titled differently between the US and Costa Rica.

I was referring to the M sport adaptive suspension. I'm not sure if they would be same or not.

Not the same...
2VM is dynamic dampers + rear air axle suspension
Its sole objective is to provide a more comfortable and smooth ride...it absorbs a higher degree of shocks (road bumps, etc) and has an eye for the load; adjusts the height of the car if necessary.

Same here, in my case, where roads are a mess down here, this should be a great option for me
