Forgot to ask that if it is possible, I would like to reduce or eliminate the floaty feal in level #1. I ride in level #2 in the city or the highway most of the time to avoid this behavior.

You could help your level 1 ride by replacing air springs with sportier Arnott G2 and Bilstein shocks. Not cheap (about $2300 in parts, another $600 in labour).

With OEM shocks (original shocks) and OEM springs/Arnott G1, nothing you can do.

OK. Thanks for your reply. Will give this a thought. Thinking about tackling this job myself, with all the great DIY's out there.

Default 8 months on Gen 2.5's, and Bilsteins all around

Small amount of wash-out when going over bumps in level 1, however, I like the overall ride and feel of the car.
I had actually expected it to be a bit stiffer than it is.
