That feature was dropped when Land Rover changed from the LR3 to the LR4.

Does the LR4 lower the suspension at high speed?
if you were in a raised position, your car will lower to default height if you exceed a certain speed. i think it's 35-40mph. that's about it.

I think it starts the warning at 25mph. It tells you to slow down or the suspension will lower.

My question is if the LR4 lowers and the suspension stiffens when you are in Normal hight but going above 65 mph or so. Some high end cars do that to get more stabiliity as high speeds.

This is a good question. I've done a few fruitless searches and will probably call the dealer to ask.

My (unqualified) thought is that it does not change the height for speeds above 65. Other changes may occur to the suspension but not height.

My question would be: At 45 miles an hour on mountain roads, what happens to the suspension when the driver selects "Sport" mode. I can feel what happens to the gearing but I could swear the truck handles differently in the turns when in this mode.

I might be wrong, but I think that's wishful thinking on your part. My impression is that Sport mode just re-maps the transmission program to prefer lower gears.

Unless proven wrong, I think you're right, wishful thinking on my part.
