There was a push by @DougW and some wacky dutchmen to build a better Damptronic system. I don't believe the project ever finished for the BRZ, but aftermarket options exist for Porsche's PASM system.

LINK to one of his threads

My understanding of PASM is that it has ride height (for adaptive air systems) and damper bleed valve control. It uses driver inputs (cockpit buttons), a host of sensors (linear position sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes), and parameters accessed from the CAN bus (vehicle speed, steering angle, estimated engine torque, brake pressure, etc). I don't know how detailed their system goes... but it's probably pretty fancy, given the $2-4k price bump for those options.
