    I know this is probably gonna be a "not a chance" answer but...

    is there any suspensions (that are not air suspensions) that you are able to adjust from inside the car.

    What I mean is, I would love to have KW2's, but with the way things are here...i wouldnt have a front end left on the car because it was scrape EVERYWHERE...but if there was something like on Lambo's and other high end cars that can raise and lower the front end or all 4 corners....that would be freaking awesome...

    i THOUGHT i saw somewhere that for like $350 or $400 you could get something for the KW2's or something similar that could do this but i could be mistaken (and probably am).

    Does anyone know what I am talking about or am i just losing it again?

    :thanks:

    Tein Coilovers have that option. You can add the EDFC option to their coilovers.
    The EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller) makes it possible for the driver to control the damping force at the touch of a button while in the driverfs seat. This is accomplished by controlling stepping motors installed on each shock absorber. Because the damping force can be controlled with such ease, the driver can adjust the suspension to suit all road/track conditions. Thus allowing the driver to fully enjoy the driving experience.
    This allows damper adjustability from in teh car, but height adjust is still done manually.

    no the height adjustment is still done manualy just the damping is adjustable.

    you would still have to raise and lower the car your self.

    Oh ya, but that system will be BIG bucks when it's released. Also, there is another in cab system out there. I can't remember the name, but it was complete crap.

    Also, if your looking for a Tein set-up. I'm selling mine and it has the EDC controller. I just haven't listed it yet.
