Hmmm... so wheels are moving up and down in a linear direction, not around a pivot point? (sorry - my background is motorcycles, no a-arms involved except for some very unusual front suspensions)

Played around with this in my old racing / rally days. never could get it too work.

Me too, but bike racing, and an electrical valves connecting fork internals to an external pneumatic reservoir is about as close as I ever got (mostly for handling anti-dive, which let me somewhat ignore that variable when picking a spring rate and damping pack combination). This might be particularly interesting for bike suspensions as, once you are no longer vertical, the spring and damping rates are wrong (not to mention move in the wrong direction). Bikes are odd beasts, though...

Any chance of naming a model or two that I might run across here in the states? I'd love to go check one out...
