To be pedantic it does not adjust the suspension.
On the straight at a constant speed the suspension should be the same with the button pressed or not.
What having the switch "on" does is make the computer respond to less input. Therefore it feels more responsive. If you are really pushing the car there is no need to have it in sports mode as it still switches to firm whichever mode you are in. The only benefit I found to having it on was purely pshycological. Having the ride firm up earlier gives you that bit more confidence in the cars abilities.
