The magnetorheological shocks are a great idea for ride quality and sport feel. However, I can tell you that the computer and software running these things are very much tuned to each vehicle (we work with the OEM supplier of these shocks). Though it may work I have a feeling the first attempts will be like trying to put the fuel injection from one motor onto another relatively different motor. Will it run? Maybe. Will it run correctly? Likely not.
I cannot wait for someone to try them. We've been playing with some stuff for a while, but I'd like to see someone fit them in their garage.
The MR shocks do not address the weight problem, however. The shock can only control how fast or slow the suspension moves. It is the job of the spring to hold the vehicle up.
