    If you mean like the ones that GM uses on the Corvette, forget it. This modification is a lot more complicated than just swapping out a set of shock absorbers. These shocks are controlled by a "ride" computer and are an integral part of the car design. Sensors in the suspension and shocks send signals to the computer which decides the amount of current to send through the media in the shock absorber which in turn, stiffens or softens the shock. You can also alter the parameters of the computer with a driver selectable switch.

    Used most often in hybrid cars, along with magnetic brakes to keep the batteries charged up. Also used in Cadillac. I don't think they make them for Volkswagen, since there has to be a DC current applied to change the resistance of the shocks.

    See http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_car... for the one Cadillac used.
