... ie we would have trouble finding any aftermarket replacement in the future like Bilstein PSS10 and/or changing the springs to lower the car, unless the aftermarket suspension can issue models to cater the needs of these cars (and deal with these computers too)...
aftermarket replacement will always be there because for track use.
I agree the trend for road cars will be more and more computer contoling the car and not you :thumbsdown:
