I have a question, when you switch to +R mode, does the car ride lower in height, the reason why I ask is that the speed bump near my house I normally in sport mode and drive over with out rubbing sound, and today I was in +R and drive over with the same speed and heard the bottom scraping

no, fk8 suspension and modes does not change height. throttle, steering response, and dampers stiffen up to highest performance settings and does nothing to ride height.

fk8's dampers have 3 orifices: small, medium, and large for hydraulic oil to flow through. each orifice corresponds to each mode and is controlled by an electromagnet. it is not a real time magnetorheological type of damper whereby there are metal flakes in the damper fluids that align themselves based on an electrical pulse sent through the oil so that the oil stiffens up - or change damper/ride height - on a real time basis.

it's simply a fixed soft, medium, or hard setting once selected.

Parking sensors? This car doesnt have any. Air conditioner noise? You mean that squirly swirly noise you can hear? They will fix that? Me and both my R buddies hate that noise.
This noise:


I've recorded it not long time ago, and I hear it every day.
On the video you see I turn the whole ventilation system ON/OFF. But you also get rid of the sound be entering climate menu and take AC OFF.
