What can you tell us about this electronic coilover overall? Sounds like you enjoy them and that their ride is pretty damned good overall? What kind of spring rates are they and any eta on arrival to market and pricing or is this all a long ways away??

There was a fellow here that was working on Bilstein damptronic electronic coilovers however that never got final life.

If you would like to read about the technology behind the valving in the shock, here is a technical brief.

http://www.tractivesuspension.com/pdf/Tractive_DDA.PDF

Spring rates I believe are 350 in the rear and 300 in the front? I think we're only 50 above stock. It truly does ride better than stock. It's more comfortable and compliant.

The system basically consists of a control unit which is mounted under the middle console. There's an accelerometer built into the unit. There are 5 levels of adjustment for static front dampening, static rear dampening, adaptive anti-pitch, and adaptive anti-roll. For daily driving, I set it to full stiff on anti-pitch and anti-roll, and full soft on static dampening. Driving around town, it's comfortable and compliant, but as soon as you hit the brakes, accelerate, or turn, the accelerometer senses the change in orientation and automatically stiffens the necessary shocks. The shocks respond within 6ms. So if you slam on the brakes, the front two shocks stiffen up and keep the car level. The same thing happens for cornering, but just on the outside shocks. It's quite remarkable.

As far as time to market, I believe HVT (same owner as AST) wants to have them available within the first half of this year. I believe beginning retail will be north of $3k.

I desperately need to buy a real camera and learn how to use it. Even on an iPhone 5S, night time or low light photos look like complete crap. There's so much noise in the photos they're almost not even worth taking. I can't wait to get the real shots made.

I'm assuming so. The bowing is a small price to pay for the difference between the stock and clear lens for me personally.

I received a very special TapTurn module in today from @scottmcphee

I'll have photos and videos of the operation soon.
