Feel nicer now?

Haven't taken it very far, but the little distance I have driven it, it did seem better.

Usually makes a noticeable amount of difference when ive had it done in the past tho.

Do you know if they used the new or old settings? (i believe the old settings are the best for the rear of the car?)
