For the past 3 months or so, I have been the guinea pig for a new set of fully electronic dampeners that will be available from the same people who own AST. I first had a set of single adjustable monotubes on the car. These are an upgrade that utilize an accelerometer mounted in the middle of the car to actively change the dampening force every 6 milliseconds. They can be adjusted on the fly from full soft to full hard at the push of a button. But the best part is the system has active anti-dive and anti-roll control. This is my daily driver, so I always leave the static setting on full soft. But anytime the controller senses a change in pitch (from braking or accelerating) or a change in roll (from cornering or changing lanes) it stiffens the correct shocks to keep the body completely flat. It's quite an amazing system that you have to experience to fully appreciate. More information can be found at www.facebook.com/hvtauto

This photo shows the control wires coming out of one of the front struts. HVT will be releasing a lot more information early next year.
