I'm not 100% as I've never seen up close. I assume it does the same you do manually when you adjust the height.

so maybe this doesnt require a fully adjustable suspension ? if it moves indipendant and just loads the spring (or extends it)?

You don't need adjustable shocks, if you meant that. I just thought this would go well with the electronically adjustable shocks s8)

s8) You do need some coilovers to make this work, so the total price will be a bit crazy s:? :? s:?

Ah but just think of the extra weight - it must be a fairly chunky motor on each corner to turn the springseats up & down.. (Unsprung weight, too)

s:lol: :lol: s:lol: Ahh but that doesn't affect the unsprung weight.. Unless you drive your car by hanging on to the bottom of the suspension? s;)

All I was trying to do was get the dampers off their travel stops s8)

I appreciate your comment, perhaps mine was just a little too flippant. Nevertheless, any extra weight on the adjustable shocks look as though its sprung, but only an opinion.
