Default Air Suspension Technical Guide

Does anyone have a technical guide for the air suspension? I see there used to be one in the sticky, but the thread appears to be closed.

A couple of times at traffic lights or a junction I have felt the suspension height alter and I'm just trying to determine if thats normal behaviour for levelling or not? I wasn't aware the suspesnion would adjust while stationary off its own accord.

Yep.. perfectly normal, especially if the camber of the road is a bit iffy. Bit weird the first few times, but you get used to it.
