It won't do any harm but your best bet is to leave the suspension in the normal position unless you need to otherwise i.e. maintenance (low) or changing a wheel (high) etc.
And yes the suspension will sink to the low position when the engine is turned off. This is normal and how long it takes depends on the condition of the hydraulic system components. It is very common for the rear of the car to sink quickly and the front to follow, but some cars stay at normal height for days.
Just remember to let the suspension rise before you drive off anywhere!!
Good luck with your purchase, what have you got?

Heh heh heh! Be careful, they're very addictive beasts and surprisingly quick too. A 1-owner job with 45k on the clock is certainly not to be sneezed at - I hope you get it! If you do, be sure to post some pictures on here.doolieaj wrote:hi
