The 90´s williams renault used only a hydraulic cylinder, no shock and no spring.. both were simulated by the valves controlling oil flow to and from... takes expensive programming and exensive hardware...
the corvettes "sky hook" and many other new car "adjustable suspension" are electronic dampers filled with are a ferromagnetic fluid that change viscosity as it is exposed to increasing magnetic fields.. this could be relatively cheaply be modified to a muscle car.. it only requires a certain voltage to attain a certain damping... hardly rocket science, and within the reach of regular people..
and the last one is the hydro-pneumatic suspension employed on citroens.. the Activa.. this is also prety high tech and requires multible encoder feedback and programming to get it to work.. i only think you could get it to work if you butchered a xantia (think it weighs about the same as a 1 gen) and transplanted Everything... ! it would give you variable rideheight, no body roll and smooth ride, awesome brakes! forget hydraboost.. and all the trouble of a citroen,, yikes
