This question might seem either idiotic or stupid but I ask it anyway. Is there any way to program a suspension system in a way that is similar to brands like BMW or Mercedes? By this I mean can I get a suspension system that will change the way it behaves just by pressing a button. Like one mode for normal comfort, another for stiffer suspension etc...

 

anything is possible for the right amount of money.

You're looking at custom for something good, or ~2500 for higher end Teins with their EDFC controller. I wouldn't consider them great though. KW has an electronically adjustable system for other cars, but not the rx8. Neither of these options are as simple as a sport, regular, race button though.

 

Yes you can get an air ride system.

 

fuz hit the nail on the head with the EDFC controller. This is different than the magneto reological damping system used on Audi's and Mercedes though. The EDFC controller is 1980's technology.

My first car, 1989 Ford Probe GT Turbo, had adjustable McPhearson struts that functioned in the same fashion as the EDFC controller.

 

So with an EDFC would I be able to connect that directly to the stock suspension? Or would I need to get a new suspension system that I can then connect to the EDFC with the motors?

 

 

you would need Tein coilovers

i believe tanabe and i wanna say cusco has similar systems
