Coilovers on sports+ mode

I have noticed sports+ mode shift and adjust the coilovers height and does not go back to how it was set or am I going crazy?

adjusted the coilovers to certain measurements and after driving around, switching to sports+ And back to normal, coilovers height was shift to different measurements and it is not the original measurements. I don’t know if it had to do with switching to different mode or installation was wrong or anyone expirancing anything similar or am I just going crazy 😜.... lol

Sport+ mode doesn’t affect ride height. It affects throttle, steering, shifting , and I believe ride STIFFNESS on 17+ models. It certainly wouldn’t change the ride height of an aftermarket suspension

I thought it did affect the stiffness and made it to cause to shift the height. Good to know, thanks for your feedback.

Those two things don't go together. Ride height changes require significant mechanical changes, not just damping rate changes. There are devices that do change ride height, Mclaren has this option for people who have challenging driveways, but they are generally pretty pricey. No Lexus IS or GS has variable ride height at the push of a button from the factory.
