Experience Modifying Suspension Height with IID?

My partner gets a little travel sick from the "floatiness". I personally like it.

What are people's experiences with lowering the suspension settings with the IID, and by how much?

I read on a previous post that 30mm would be the absolute maximum and should also involve re-torqueing the suspension component bolts to prevent bush wind-up. I was wondering if even say 15mm would make a difference to stability at speed and around corners. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

lowering suspension will make it even more soft.

If it’s’s ‘floaty’ you need new shock absorbers. Most think the later cars are too firm so careful what you wish for…. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

It's not the shocks / any issue with the ride. I'm just asking for people's experience, knowing some members have adjusted the suspension height settings. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

I lowered mine by about 10mm all round for a while, you get a feeling of being able to throw it around corners a bit quicker, certainly felt more stable, give it a go you can put it back easy enough to standard...

I ran mine 12mm lower all round as I have 255/55 R20 tyres so this is actually setting it to stock ride height. Didn't notice any difference in handling and preferred the taller look so put it back up. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

you can get a more solid ride by changing the tyre/wheels to a bigger diameter/lower profile. ... - .- -.

Syntetic drug invented by Elmo McElroy. Very popular in UK a time ago (joke). Unless suspension will not hit bumpers then lowering in l322 will not make it more stiff. It is impossible due to l322 air suspension construction.
