    I had a friend that had an aftermarket (non-rancho, but I can't recall the name) set-up with little servos on the shocks, it was electrically controlled, and his worked fine. So maybe there is other options out there if Rancho has a reliability issue.

    Lots of the Tuner crowd uses a servo that spin the dial on the shocks instead of the air control that was already mentioned. Seems to be very reliable from what I have read on other forums. I typically find them used with Tein suspension components and they make nothing for the VX.

    Yup... I have the Tein electronically controlled suspension on my Z. I keep it on the so-called softest setting, but I could tune it right from inside.

    I tried it once on the stiffest setting and it felt like it was welded solid.... ouch!

    Was just about to suggest Tein, their electronically controlled kit was pretty much identical between the G35 and Z, and I did a lot of drooling over that kit. Too bad they don't make anything for the VX, I can't recall a single person complaining of reliability problems with them. I know they sponsor some of the drift competitions so maybe they are only in that segment.
