    Default Auto Levelling Suspension

    Was having a look through my Signum's manual the other day and came across info on the 'auto levelling suspension', where the suspension will adjust and level out after 2 miles of driving if youre carrying a load. I understand this would have been an optional extra when the car was ordered new, but how do I know if my car has this feature? Most of my driving involves carrying a boot full of heavy stuff, but I can't say I've noticed the rear end of the car adjust when driving!?

    Yes I just did it. Ths shocks has "all included" so you just change the shock, and voila, you have a self leveling car. I just did it, orded them from autovaux. 300 £ + VAT (in norway, 1140 £ inkl norwegian VAT)
