can anyone here tell/notice difference between SPORT and NON-SPORT setting button??
 
i'm talking about the button just below the shifter... which supposedly adjusts the suspension between a SPORT and COMFORT mode.... i have a 4.8 with sport package and 20" tires.

i am having trouble feeling the difference between these settings.... can anyone here notice it? does the suspension feel 'stiffer' with the sport button pushed or more comfortable without it on? any good way to 'test' this that you recommend? ;)

I have that option here in the UK. I notice a big difference when going through the twisties, plus the stiffer ride when `on`. Very noticable for me.

I agree. I don't notice it much on the highway, but curvy roads are very tight and the X feels less 'smushy' when in Sport

I agree. If you keep it in "sport" as much as you can you can extend the life of your tires. They don't wear as much on the outside due to less body roll.

Noticable for me, but I have yet to try the twisties.

Dont notice any difference (yet), but since it saves tires, why not then...

yes, I can tell the difference.
