i felt the car was bouncy at the softest setting on the konis. i was giving my friend, who helped me install the shocks, a ride home and on the freeway he says to me "they're stiffer, but the car bounces like a ricemobile." imo half a turn feels like stocks, stiff yet compliant.

how about a small DC step motor to control the stiffness on 4 corners. You can have a control lnob next to the VSA too

they make it so you can adjust the damping (stiffness) of the rear shocks without removing the rear seats and deck tray. look at the pictures again.

I've been thinking of the motorized konis this since the thread. Nashua, great idea! I followed the link you posted and its just a chip. I assume you would have to custom build this.
Are you aware of any existing product(s) you can use for this purpose? Even something that can be slightly modified to work?
