Read my post HERE for more info on how they work.

Long story short, you can replace the adaptive suspension dampers with coil-overs and make whatever modifications you want to the car just like normal. But if you want KEEP the adaptive function, you're better off leaving the whole system stock, as changes to other parts in the system can confuse the suspension ECU. Kind of like making major engine mods without a tune, except at the moment, there's no "tune" for adaptive suspensions (except Dinan's shockware for the F10).
Thanks for the explanation, puts a lot together.
