Personally I feel the difference when i'm making maneuvres at high speed. Quick left right overtaking maneuvres at 90 mph, or taking 90 degree highway ramps at 70mph. For normal driving there is little difference, but in these high speed maneuvres the car feels a lot more confident whereas before it felt slightly loose.

However the impact of the sways on body roll is tiny compared with the impact of flicking the active suspension switch to sport.

im on JIC's and i noticed the difference dramatically first few days. Eventually you'll get used to it and feeling goes away, does't mean the performance gain is'nt there. i feel the car rotates a lot better with the sways.

You can really feel their positive effect when you take an entrance ramp at high speed...much flatter, less body roll.
