That's an interesting idea... I would see if a laser-ranging module could be used for suspension travel, much cheaper and easier to install.

Once the gauge development/testing is done, I think the next project it a real time tire surface temperature display using an IR array sensor. Tire temps are a very useful tool to suspension tuning.

For now, my focus are the gauges and a standalone G37 MT6 gear position indicator (displays 1-6 using the factory cluster)
