    What do each of the three possible letter choices on the suspension selector switch for a '95 456GT stand for?

    Exactly, but not in that order........Soft is forward position... at least that's what's printed on the dash.....

    OK, thanks.

    I was surprised not to find this info in the manual that came with the car.

    If there isnt much difference between the settings,whats the usual cause in my 17 year old car? accumulators? shocks(no leak)?

    I've thought the same Andrew. Occasionally, I think I can feel the difference.... A little more bounce on Hard, but I'm not sure exactly what the suspension ECU is doing?

    How would one know if the accumulators have blown? As said, I just leave it on Soft and assume everything is as designed.......handles great...but maybe I'm just perpetually Hard..... (opps, that doesn't sound right, does it?) .......Mark
