Comfort vs Sports Mode

there is a noticeable difference in corners - I have KDSS - - with sport mode it is much flatter than normal mode ie. If you are going into a corner a bit fast, switching to sport helps.....but you can feel the bumps more....

I have non-kdss, but on high sport it corners better than in the softer setting. Personally I coudn't tell the differece in handling between KDSS equiped GX and a non-KDSS equiped. Handling was the same to me on cornering. And trust me I drove the trucks pretty hard. That's why I opt. for a non-KDSS. Set on 4 and roll with it. The Mrs. don't like the high setting she believes it's too harsh. She keeps it on 2.

I just took the GX from Ohio to the shores of NC over the weekend. As I was travelling the WV turnpike, i put it into sport mode and noticed that the truck handled much better in the tight curves.

Sorry about reviving an old old post, but I didn't want to create a new thread for a topic that was already covered before.
I was playing around with this setting today and I wanted to figure out which settings you guys use the most - from left to right -
Comfort 1
Comfort 2 (default)
Sport 1
Sport 2
I switched back and forth between Comfort 2 (default) and Sport 2 and didn't really notice too big of a difference, although I wasn't driving the car hard either.
I'm guessing it'll boil down to personal preference, but I'm curious what's the consensus - what do people use the most?

Holy thread revival batman!
I leave it in full sport for just me commuting around. When I'm going on an extended drive with friends or family I'll usually drop it down one notch.

I know this is an old thread so don't flame me!
I've had my '04 for 2.5 years now and never played with the suspension setting. Yesterday I switched from the "default" setting to the far right Sport setting and what a difference! The GX still has original shocks, and I'd describe the ride as "floaty". It's now much tighter and I am a happy camper.

"Sport" mode (setting 4 of 4, all the way to the right) on the freeway. I use the word "sport" very, very loosely!
Semi-comfort mode (setting 2 of 4, one click from the left) for everyday driving.
It's definitely more buttoned down on the freeway and noticeably more plush in town with these settings. However, I'm not talking about a night and day difference if that makes any sense. I think you GX drivers know what I mean.
What I absolutely hate about the GX is that the nose dives big time on braking at stop lights / stop signs. I hate, hate, hate it! I know it does it on the comfort-biased settings like it's going out of style, but it still happens a bit on the sporty setting.

i've had in on sport since the day we bought it...i've tried different settings, but i really can't tell the difference so i've left it on sport. i know what u mean about the noise dive...this is the most nose diving car i've driven, but surpisingly stops well though.
