You guys are looking too much into this :-) :-) in 20K km except the "resistance" vs. the caster adjustment when stopped, there were never any ill effects. While I don't "race" the RRP38 (I got other stuff to do that), I do have a lively right foot ...

Marty, your assumption about the reasoning in the sequence for raising (rear -> front) and lowering (front -> rear) must be correct, because I've noticed also Audis and Benzes with air suspension follow the same pattern. However they are not bound (at least the A8 in our workshop) to these door opening / press on the brakes things, the suspension keeps working up and down in such moments also. Curious ...

The axle "cross link" in the front, for example at the traffic lights (a very quick dip or raise) it is done regardless of the custom brake inhibit switch position (switch is under the seat right by the EAS brain).
The 'door wake' adjustment it is obviously void if the switch is "on".
Height changes above a certain speed (not sure which) can take place EVEN if a door or tailgate is open, regardless of the inhibit embedded in the system, I've noticed this one time I was transporting a large heavy load on the tailgate and it went from access/crawl to normal height without me doing anything. This was before I made my door open custom switch under the seat...
All in all, I am delighted with the RRP38's EAS, especially in this age that it has little secrets and is fully rebuildable ... must have been a horror to own one of these vehicles in the 90s where your fate depended only on the dealer ... aargh

Parked mine up yesterday in access just to test the EAS system..

One thing I noticed is the ground isn't level, however the bag seems to have dropped and the bellow is actually below the piston bottom..

If that makes sense here is a pic!

She's on the bumps on the front I think due to the ground being very uneven..

the rears are good..

That look normal?

That's how it's supposed to look, the bag rolls over itself onto the base. Bumpstop looks well squashed though or that might just be the angle the photo was taken from.

Thanks Richard

Yep my bumpstops have seen better days!
