Sport suspension
Hey i just realized that my car has an active alarm.. i dont know how to turn it on or off but i accidentally activated it somehow...
so does that mean that the "sport" and "normal" suspension buttons actually do something?
if so how do THEY work!?

The auto-adjust suspension buttons have nothing to do with the stock alarm system, they just happen to be right by the alarm light.
I am guess you have a GXL and not a TII, then.
Wait, don't tell me those crazy Canadians could get AAS in a TII...

it's very likely that your adjustable suspension no longer works, I mean, it's 16 years old.
If your struts are relatively new OEM replacements, and your actuators are still working, then sure, it works! It's not far fetched.
The easiest way to test? Put it in "normal" and while going down the road, jerk the wheel left and right, just to get the car to waver side to side. Then put it in "sport" and do the same thing.
If it's working, you'll notice a BIG difference. If it seems about the same, or you're not sure if it's better or not, then the AAS doesn't work.

Don't even get me started on our S5's versus yours.

You did succeed in getting me curious about the S5 stock suspension though.
I do miss the GXL's LSD, though. Real bad.

We didn't get the GTUs or CYM's, though
ABS was an option for 87 TII's in Canada. It was not on all 87 TII's.
It's all good.
