The Gen 3's use a different piston. When lowered it uses a larger surface area and a smaller one when inflated on the higher suspension modes. I don't know the spring rates or the change you get from high to low ride heights.I don't fully get how they work, but I don't believe a higher setting results in a higher pressure.
Forcing air into a tank that can't expand or something stretchy like a balloon will increase pressure with more air.
But the suspension air bags are free to enlarge without creating any more pressure.
Assuming the bags aren't over inflated then the only source of load to create the pressure is from the weight of the car which is constant.
I think that's right anyway.
To visualise, imagine an inflated ballon, poke it with your finger and it'll still depress quite a bit. Use your palm and it'll have way less effect for the same effort. Let some air out and repeat. In practice it would be like using your palm on the motorway height and your finger on the off road height.
