Lifted suspension
Lifted suspension I already know what you're thinking and no i'm not trying to stuff "dubs" under my car or make it a swamp buggy. I was thinking about an on-the-fly adjustable suspension that raises your car up just to clear speed bumps etc without dragging the headers or nose of your car. I had a 94 bird years ago when i lived in southern ohio and i was always having trouble with parking lots and some of the roads. Now that i live in suburbia down south it seems i can't make it into most driveways because i can't do the "diagonal attack" that most of us do.
So my idea was an air bag type setup that was only in effect when you hit the "lift" switch. When it's off you sit at regular ride height. No layin frame. I've heard of old style air shocks that you could theoretically pump up but would have the handling of a waterbed when in deflated mode. I think Audi or saab did something like this a few years back but don't know if it ever made it to production.
I did a search on this forum and google and didn't find anything. Anyone know of any cars that have anything like this?
BTW i have seen adjustable ride systems for the rear of leaf spring trucks.
thoughts?
