For a heavily constrained system like a car's shock absorbers, couldn't permanent magnets be used instead of electromagnets?

I think the main advantage to fixed stiffness springs was that it was controllable. So if it was a fixed strength magnet the advantages over springs is likely limited compared to the cost. Magnetic suspension is cool because it's an active suspension system.

I'm picturing a car crash where some poor sod is perforated by a super strong magnet that went flying
