Shock Tower Question

I was gettin up underneath the hood of one of my cars (86 NA) and I notice these wires coming from the shock tower. I didnt trace them to wherever they were going to because I was under the hood pulling a part and had to get to Fedex. Does anybody know what this is about or seen this before on an RX-7 ?

Very interesting. Didnt know that about this car. Is this the same thing or somehow tied to the Auto Adjusting Suspension or however you say that?

I think it just lowers the car, the rear suspension adjusts its camber by body roll or something I don't think thats affected by this.

OH GOD!..help us all!..it is for the Auto Adjust suspension..it is attached to that Stupid button on the Middle Console..By the Security System(if you have that) and the Electric Mirror Controls..It simply Turns a valve in the Shocks and Makes them Either Stiff(Sporty) or Soft(Normal).If you Decide to Change out to Coilovers,all That "Nifty ****" gets Tossed.
