Just wanted to throw this out there and get some response and ideas... brainstorm

I've seen people on TV and a couple of sites brag and boast about a suspension system that appears to be completely unique... the Bose Suspension. I saw a short post about this that dated to 2004 (link to thread posted below), but the info that I've seen is very recent, as in this last summer and fall.

Would this work for our VX? Does anyone know personally of someone that has this system? Just wanted to start a conversation about it and see where it leads. It looks impressive, but then again I'm certainly by no means very educated about suspension and would like to see what you all think...

There's a lot of info to digest at the official site but very informative. Your thoughts???

Bose? They make stereo equipment, and poorly at that.

I would honestly stay away from any gimmicky trendy stuff like this. Of course thats only my opinion. I have absolutely zero experience with it, but i know that i haven't heard of it before. What are you trying to obtain with it? The only examples i see on their site is on old boat like cars. I always thought the VX handled very well for an suv?

I read a few articles years ago about the said suspension. It was in the development and testing stages when I read about it , some military vehicles where being out-fitted with it. It's supposed to be super fast acting... .
