Adjustable Suspension via App - Aftermarket DCC?

[Mr Savage]

I was gonna add this in the tuning thread but thought it was so cool it deserved it's own topic

So when someone tells you they have wifi for their suspension, don't think they've lost the plot because they might just be telling the truth.

So a module is installed in your car which allows you to change the suspension settings via an app on your iPhone/iPad ect. You can lower the suspension in adjustments of 1% at a time or in single blocks of 10% aswell as having a choice of Comfort/Sport/Sport+ on your car.

So while the price tag of £2770 might seem somewhat steep it effectively adds Adaptive Chasis Control to the car with the added benefit of being able to lower your car at the touch of a button.

Pretty neat, huh? No idea how long this technology has been around but I was impressed atleast.

I can't see the point of the WiFi as you can't use a phone while driving anyway 

[Mr Savage]

Well you can save around 5 settings and slam the car while parked and raise it before you get in I guess!

This does not let you lower at the touch of the button this allows you to adjust the damping/rebound on the car not alter the ride height

KW also do a DCC version which plugs into the poem system so you have their interpretation of damping/rebound for comfort etc

Personally I would save the money and get a set of Bilstein PSS10 B16s, you can adjust these in about 5 minutes  to soften and harden and probably built better

Ah right. Not as cool then. Was reading this bit and misinterpretated.
