Well, it's all available now (apart from Patrick's board).

Even if your car is non-CAN (I doubt it will be yet, as the adoption rate is low and primarily on major German manufacturer's top end models), you should still be abe to jack into the ECU one way or another. There are various ways to get into Ford EEC-IV's for example, and I have managed to read data out of a Peugeot EFI computer while it was running.

As for adjusting the shocks dynamically - can't do it, I'm afraid! The shocks are adjustable, but with a screwdriver to adjust the damping. This is the reason I want to do the measurement work, so I can look for an overdamped response to a suspension impulse and reduce the damping myself, or vice versa. I am a long way off from reliable dynamic suspension!
