[QUOTE="Tob, post: 13364115, member: 83412"] I've been in contact with some really great people at ThyssenKrupp Bilstein regarding this project. Correspondence has gone as far as Germany in order to pin down details regarding SVT's electronic Bilstein struts/shocks as used on select 2013/2014 GT500's. All of which culminated in a box showing up at my doorstep the other day. I have obtained the electrical hardware that Bilstein uses in their "ridecontrol" kits. I'll share with everyone the hardware in the kit as best I can, as I have only been able to find bits and pieces on it via the web.
