    Someone that has actual knowledge of the system's mechanicals please chime in. It is my understanding the oem bi-mode bilsteins equipped on ALL of our vehicles (aside from the ACRs and base SRTs), change their damping rate by changing the reservoir volume. You have volume A (street setting), and volume B (track setting). There is a valve that controls this behavior (flow), on/off, to the remote reservoirs. How are we getting infinite real time changes in a system that (to my knowledge) only allows for 2 firm mechanical hi/low limits. Someone mentioned retrofitting the dampers with another real-time controllable valve?? Which, as someone else pointed out would then allow damping changes within the fixed volume set by Bilstein.

    DSC, please provide some color on this.
    +1 on this.

    I'm not trying to question the product, but I just don't understand how it works. Unless the controller is able to change the valve and amount of fluid in the damper vs. the reservoir hundreds of times a minute, how does it make our stock dampers active vs. passive?
