Slimg60 0 Posted March 22, 2007 Would it be possible/worthwhile fitting motors to the top of my coilovers to adjust the harshness of them remotely? I'm fed up with having to stop everytime I find a decent enough road to have a bit of fun :twisted: Has anyone tried this or heard of it being done?

Mark_Storm 0 Posted March 23, 2007 I have heard of this and it is definately possible but don't know where you could get them, might just have to google it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted March 23, 2007 how much force is reqired to turn the adjusters and how much of a range of movement do they require? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slimg60 0 Posted March 23, 2007 it's several turns for complete range of movement, not a lot of force either. I've been talking to a electronics wiz at work who said it should be fairly easy, using hi-torque motors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted March 23, 2007 I believe some suspension companies actually supply remote adjustment kits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 23, 2007 Koni used to do electronically adjustable dampers and you got a nice little control panel for the dash to go with them. My mate's Merc CL500 also has stepper motors on top of his dampers, so the technology is definitely there. I like the idea of Audi's magnetic fluid dampers, but I bet they're not cheap! Koni's new FSD dampers are good aswell, but they don't do them for older cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted March 23, 2007 I've been talking to a electronics wiz at work who said it should be fairly easy, using hi-torque motors. Electronics? - Are you saying my idea of a series of intricate plastic pulleys, old shoelaces, olympic trained gerbils and extra mature cheddar won't work?
