    Suspension Control Module Options

    Hey Doesn't the "Service Ride Control " message also indicate that the vehicle speed is limited and other parameters are also affected ? Think that the tape idea is not the best way to go. Got to think about down the road and resale of the car one day. Someone here probably has a solution...
