DAY IN AND DAY OUT

Starting out in the Mark VIII, you'll notice the compressor coming on as soon as you start the vehicle. This is the air suspension airing up the front and rear struts/springs to bring the vehicle to "city height". City height is needed to help dodge the pot holes and most road debris. If you were to exit the vehicle, this extra air will be vented from the struts/springs and the car lowered back down to "curb height".

The Mark VIII not only adjusts the height of the vehicle depending on weight added or removed, but it also adjusts the height depending on speed. On the earlier models, the vehicle will lower almost a full inch at or around 65 mph to be more aerodynamic. (They changed that to around a half inch on the later models) If you hang around the Mark VIII crowd long enough, you'll hear the term "curb height". Curb height is the lowered height the car is at when driven over 65 mph. This is also the same height it loweres to when you exit the vehicle.

After the vehicle has been driven around 45 mph for a short time, the vehicle will automatically raise back up to its normal "city" height.
