Airbrake for a Supercar! - actuator controller??

Hi,

I'm working on engineering an airbrake for a vehicle similar to what is on the new McLauren.  I want a simple, lightweight controller for two 12v actuators.  The controller will move both actuators [in lock-step with each other] over 100mm once a pressure sensor reads x psi.  Once that sensor signal drops below x psi, the actuators will return to zero regardless of where they are.  In other words, they don't have to complete their stroke.

I've found some decent actuators (although suggestions are wanted).  I desperately need a simple, lightweight controller.  I'm a mechanical engineer with some controls experience (PLCs etc).

Thanks!
Todd
