Air suspension and DCC

Was testing a buddys A8L yesterday, it had air suspension that lifted and lowered together with the driving mode.

I know how normal aftermarket airsystems work, but is it possible to make them work with the DCC?

DCC affects the damping (springiness) rate of change, the air suspension would change both the springiness and the rate of change.

In theory the DCC shock should work with Air Ride, question is, when do the shocks/struts bottom out? The fronts would pose the only concern I would think. Based on my experiences.

Good point! Lowering spring producers often reccomend shorter struts when lowering more than 35-40mm.

Maybe it is possible to make strut tops that raise the struts 20-40mm?
