Default Re: ECS/Tour-Sport mode.

Well, sport mode is stiffer, Tour is less stiff, but there really shouldn't be a bounce in either mode. A bounce does indicate bad struts. If you press down on each corner of the car and let it come back up, it should return back up and stop. My 91 with original struts rides like a luxury car and feels nothing like a sports car unless I drive agressively and then it switches to sport mode. Then it's stiffer, but not bouncy or harsh. There are no other struts besides OEM that will work with the ECS. They are the only ones with electronic valve porting. To me, they give the best ride if that's what you are interested in. Usually guys only change out if they wish to lower their cars. To me, they are low enough and any less clearance you are looking at towing and possible driveway entry problems.

On the lights on your steering wheel it sounds like you might have a dirty clock wheel in the steering wheel. That's what transfers signals and voltage to the turning wheel where brass tabs ride on a brass flat surface.
