Adjustable coilovers give drivers more control over suspension setup, but damping changes are typically made through adjusters located on the dampers themselves. The new MaXpeedingrods IDDS Series Coilover System brings that adjustment into the cabin, giving enthusiasts a more convenient way to change suspension characteristics through an electronic controller.
Designed as a standalone aftermarket system, IDDS operates without requiring CAN bus communication. Instead, its own controller manages damping adjustment independently, helping make electronic suspension tuning more accessible for compatible aftermarket builds.
How IDDS Electronic Damping Control Works
At the center of the system is an electronically controlled solenoid valve that regulates oil flow inside the damper. Changing the valve setting alters damping force, allowing the suspension response to move between more compliant and firmer characteristics according to the setting selected by the driver.
In practical terms, this means drivers can change damping characteristics from inside the vehicle rather than manually adjusting each coilover. The solenoid valve has a listed response time of less than 10 milliseconds, supporting quick electronic changes between damping settings.
Comfort, Standard, Sport, or Your Own Setup
IDDS provides three preset damping modes — Comfort, Standard, and Sport — along with a Custom Mode for more detailed adjustment.
Comfort Mode provides a more compliant damping response for drivers who prefer a softer suspension feel. Standard Mode offers a balanced setup, while Sport Mode provides a firmer response for those seeking a more engaging suspension feel.
Custom Mode gives drivers additional control by allowing front and rear damping to be adjusted independently. The front pair can be tuned together across 10 levels, while the rear pair also offers 10 linked adjustment levels, allowing users to refine the front-to-rear damping balance around their preferred setup.
More Control, with Useful Electronic Features
The IDDS controller also includes a memory function that automatically restores previous settings after power loss or restart. A built-in diagnostic function can detect open-circuit and short-circuit conditions in the electromagnetic valve hardware and display corresponding errors, adding another layer of system monitoring for users.
The coilover system also retains ride-height adjustment, giving enthusiasts the ability to work with both vehicle stance and damping characteristics within one suspension setup. IDDS is currently offered for selected compatible vehicle applications, with buyers encouraged to confirm fitment information on the product page before ordering.
For enthusiasts looking for adjustable coilovers with the convenience of in-cabin damping control, IDDS offers a more flexible way to personalize suspension response while keeping the electronic control system independent from the vehicle’s CAN network.
Vehicle modification requirements vary by jurisdiction. Professional installation is recommended, and users should ensure that installation, adjustment, and use comply with applicable local vehicle modification and road-use regulations
