    Default self leveling

    what's the advantage of a self-leveling suspension? Are there aftermarket options with easy adjustability?

    Default Self leveling keeps the camber settings on the rear the

    same regardless of how much load you have in the car or trunk. It automatically raises the rear height back to normal if you put weight in the trunk. Some people think that it also handles better and has a better feel to the way it rides.

    Keeps the headlights from pointing at the sky when loaded? (the car, not you) Aftermarket options include deleting the self adjusting $500/each rear shocks and replacing at substantial expense. Kinda like buying new 16" tires and wheels rather than just new TRX tires.
