Well the idea is that splicing a toggle switch allows me to select when to have it enabled or not.

My understanding of the KDSS system is that below a certain speed (something weird like 12mph) it allows the suspension to articulate more, such as when you're going through a technical section off road. And when you go above than speed it's assumed you're on pavement and it stiffens the suspension to give you better handling. The drawback is that if you're going down a relatively easy dirt road then you'll be exceeding the speed threshold and the suspension will behave stiffly. If you use a toggle to disable the KDSS then you can maintain a softer suspension above that threshold so that if you drive over a rut for example the whole vehicle is less likely to shutter as when the KDSS is enabled and the suspension isn't allowed to flex as much. This is more or less the explanation my friend gave me when he was describing why he did it.

So the goal isn't to remove the KDSS or permanantly disable it either. It's to enable the vehicle to have more give in the suspension when you doing something with some speed but with unexpected bumps and such.
