If you Google it, apparently, it's one of these :D

But I imagine the Jadester means the adjustable lower leg that the Flex has.

Do you mean the height/preload adjustable bit?

Motorbikes have had them for over 30 years, why would cars be so different in the law? If they will allow 'air shocks' then just about anything must be safer than them.

something to do with ADRs - they are legal only if the manufacturer will certify that they conform to ADRs. *dammit*
