Are there any Aftermarket Electronically Adjustable Shocks?

I know the GXL had some, I was wondering if there were some good aftermarket ones. I mean comfy on the road, but at flick of a button ready to take turns like any other aftermarket suspension part.
And also I'd hope these would be much better than stock.
Anyone know of any?

Yeah was just looking at the latest rx-7 mag... there is a Tein electronic adjustible control box that you shows you what setting your shocks are at. They sell it in Japan for 39,000, right under 400US. Im wondering if it is compatible with my tein HAs. Does anyone have any info on this?

Carrera shocks make (or made) some kind of shock that used a magnetic fluid. You could vary the viscosity of the fluid, hence the damping, by turning a dial. Try searching for their website.

The big question is...will those stepper motors fit between the top adjustment **** and the hood on the FD....The look quite big. I'll get some modeling clay or playdough (plastigauge) and measure the clearance when I get the car back. It'd be nice to have.

I would e-mail the guys at TEIN USA to find out, they are pretty good at getting back with you. I'm sure they could help you out.
