Something new from KW: KW DDC ECU Coilover Kit
I'm not sure if you guys have heard about the new KW DDC ECU Coilover kits by KW, but it sure looks promising.
With the new Dynamic Damping Control, DDC, KW has designed a new coilover suspension, which uses the original 3-way button to adjust the damping. KW combines the individual height adjustability of the coilover suspension with the adaptive OEM damping control.
The driver can choose between 3 modes: "Comfort" for bad road conditions or just a relax ride, "Normal" for sporty daily use as the best compromise between performance and ride comfort or "Sport" for best handling and response.
Fichtenberg, May 9th, 2012 - Three modes driving pleasure and the opportunity to adjust the damper characteristics via iPhone, this is what the KW DDC ECU coilover kit makes possible. With the free KW DDC App, the dampers can individually be configured via an iPhone, iPad or an iPod touch. For the secured WiFi-connection to the suspension control unit, only an optional W-LAN module is required. The KW DCC ECU coilover kit allows a continuous lowering of up to 40 mm within the German TÜV-tested adjustment range.
Skip ahead to 1:39 for the fun stuff!

Currently applications are limited to VW, but I heard there will be more applications available eventually...hopefully a G37 application?
What are your thoughts on this system? Yay or nay?

That is definitely the coolest thing I have seen in a while! How much more expensive than a standard V3 would this be?

I'm sure you can have old school buttons hooked to it if you want, the iPhone app is just a plus

It seems these will not work on the g37 as it does not have active damping technology. It looks like you use your ipad/iphone to set it up and then when u are actually driving, you just use the comfort/sport stock buttons in the car. This is pretty neat and def should be compatible with the newer q's since i believe it will have an active suspension
