that's really interesting. i never heard of this before, but sounds like a really good idea and something that has a quite a bit of potential. nice find.

 

This is an interesting approach to it. However, Bose (yes..the same company who makes stereo systems/etc.) has produced a suspension system that absorbs any bumps through magnetic energy, which helps the bounce back the "bump" in the ride. Amazingly, your chassis NEVER moves, and its literally like youre riding on air. only down side is, not only can you not lower your car, but the system actually slightly raises you car.

it's very cool though.

 

I though it was food for though type of link. Weather it makes it to consumers is another story or for us scion users to use but I am always looking for whats out there.
