That would be a kind of holy grail; better comfort, lesser resistance, better handling all marching together while no outside power is required (apart from operating the switch).

You have just described the magnetorheological shocks GM has been using in the corvette since 2005:
Magnetorheological damper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They work very well and are used in many more cars now. Basically, an electric current changes the viscosity of the damper's fluid in real-time.
