I wonder what research and development Tein have done on this to get the preset values that are available (4 presets)?

Ahh okay. Well, then no you can't do that. Changing settings at a given speed for G though is not a problem.

I'm not sure if I'm following you here. But you can set the rate of change in G's. So you could have a varied level of adjustment and say have the damper stiffness vary only a little around a given...

I should add you can also set it in linear mode so it increases at a set rate. Or the other setting lets you 'arrange' what settings you want with a chosen g force level.

Well, it will vary to the rate you set it at. So you could have a given setting at 0.5g that is constant (of course), it won't change if the g-force isn't varying. Then you could set the damper...

You can set the rate of change in g-force. You have ten steps in which to vary the rate of g force and the level of change you want.

You can adjust the RATE OF CHANGE in G-force, that is the point. The changes make a noticable difference I find.

Dan you might not want it, but how do you know until you've tried it?

There's a reasonable amount of female drivers getting out and about in the UK. :)

I'm pretty involved, I have run an MR2 club for years and have recently co-started the UK GT86/BRZ Owners Club.
