I don't feel any difference in Sport, Normal, and Comfort settings on my air suspension. (One of my other cars is a Corvette, so I think I know what "sport" should feel like.) Under what conditions should I feel a difference?

When I test drove several LS cars, most of them had the air suspension. I put it though it's paces and I too did not notice much or any difference between the settings. The magnetic dampeners in your corvette has an entirely different system to control the dampening though the valves. You can actually feel that system however it is not optimal for any serious dampening and it's more gimmicky then anything else.
I was so unimpressed with the air ride that I bought a car without it.

I notice a difference when cornering in sport setting...

Interesting. I have a 2010 L with air. Sport feels more rigid to me. Can't au I notice it cornering any better. On comfort, I notice it. It's seems to float more. If you don't notice any difference at all, I'd suggest getting it checked out. Maybe there is an issue with your suspension system.

I can definitely tell the difference between comfort, normal and sport. In comfort my car seems to float over road imperfections and the steering is softer. In sport the steering and suspension tighten up and the ride isn't as smooth. I use normal for every day driving and it's the combination of the two and my car rides remarkably smooth. If you notice no difference one of the four air accumulators on the suspension may no longer work. You may want to have your air suspension system checked.

I can tell when the damping changed between the three, Sport is a tad stiff with les float and Comfort is more float/softer than normal.

I noticed the same thing as Tee when I took our friends 2010 LS460 with air over to Lexus of Tulsa. The sport was noticeably stiffer and the comfort was noticeably softer.

Thanks for the responses. I'll see if my dealer can find out why my comfort, normal, sport switch does nothing but light the indicators on the instrument panel.
