hey guys I was looking though the manual a few days ago, I notice I seem to have lots of coin holders lol I found that the coin holder behind the gearstick in front of the electric mirror controls is actually a blanking plate for the controls for active suspension.

It shows in the manual that there is either \'normal\' or \'sport\' that changes the suspension to firm or normal, I was just wondering if anyone has this on their cars?

It was done using stepper motors and a small control box that\'s would be located in the boot space - on the vert it\'s a longish connector block on the passenger side.   It seems that not all the wiring loom is present in the engine bay on my car.
 
It was fitted to the GTU models and possibly GTX models in the US.
 
In principal, you could add this to a car having adjustable shocks, but you\'d need to build a controller box, and you need 4 low profile stepper motors to act as the adjusters.  These are mounted on the tops of each shock tower and would act through a shaft coupler.
 
It\'s on my project list :Thumbs-up

or perhaps just get adjustable Tein coilovers :D lol probably cheaper and easier :D lol

Tein do an electronic adjust kit for their suspension - check clearance of their stepper motors against the bonnet on the front suspension, as they sit quite high
