Here is Woody's post #39 reference that really helps explain how MRC works and supports my thoughts and understanding of it.

"I may be able to help clear up this topic a bit. I have been a damper and chassis systems engineer for more than 25 years. I worked for Delphi for nearly 20 years and spent several years of that time in their Chassis Advanced Development group helping to develop MagneRide (MR) dampers. I left the company several years ago, but at the time of my departure I was considered an expert in the technology.

The short answer to the OP's question: Lowering the vehicle will not affect the basic operation of the system. The system works by using the position sensor output to calculate how each wheel is moving relative to the other wheels and the vehicle body. From that information, the system calculates the ideal setting for each damper for any given road input. The key term here is RELATIVE; lowering the vehicle does not really affect how the wheels move relative to each other. However, please note that there are some specialized tuning features available in the MR system that can be affected by the vehicle ride height, but these features may or may not be in use in the SS. Even if they are enabled, they would only affect the system response at the limits of suspension travel, which is a pretty infrequent occurrence.

DISCLAIMER: My direct involvement with the system ended 8 years ago when I switched jobs. It is highly likely that additional features and improvements have been implemented in the control algorithm and electronics since then that may be affected by lowering the vehicle, but the basic system functions have not changed.
