Is it normal for the Celsior to drop ~10mm after shutting the car off (thats 10mm over night).

All four corners went down about the same amount, so I'm presuming its just something it does?


This is a UCF11 with air suspension obviously.

well from my experience with these cars: it seems like the seals/gaskets are stuffed or you have cracks in the actual bags themselves. so you might have to get some out of the states... about $400 a corner

If one side or one corner had sagged, I'd definitely agree with you.

But all 4 corners to sag roughly the same amount, I'm leaning more towards a feature of the car.

I just need someone else to check theirs.

i think because it has electronic leveling when you get in, it jacks it back up to normal height rather than dropping a bit(because of your weight).
then when you switch the car off, it lowers itself back to what height you have it set on
(hope you understand all that)

mine seems to drop at the back when i switch the car off, but its really irregular, like it will do it one night and not the next. i think its a fault in the electrics somewhere.

while im at it, does anyone know if the sport/normal setting still work if you have an aftermarket height controller?
thanks.

I can definitely feel the difference between Sport and Normal with my car. (I have a controller).

She's a much stiffer ride on Sport.
