Default Retro fit question

So I'm sure all of you have seen the CTSv brake retrofit on more than one occasion floating around the forum, going off of this compatibility, would there be anyway to retrofit the new Magnetic Ride Control out of the latest CTSv or ZL1?
It would need some sort of stand alone computer to pull it off I'm sure

Have you priced just the shocks alone?
You could buy another Fbody for around the same cost...
Then add in all the cutting, hacking, welding and custom electronic work.
But if you have the money and know-how then be the guinea pig for all of us and do it.

The brake kit is a cheap bolt on. You're talking about something completely different...

So basically no one has even tried to attempt it?

Considering the hardware alone is probably close to ~$5000 (and then you have to custom mod everything from there, with no guarantee anything will work right) I think not.
You want some really great handling shocks that bolt right in? Koni SAs are popular for a reason. Want to take it a step or two further? Look into KW coilovers, penskie shocks or race bilstiens.
