Pishh Pishhh- Air Bags?
First off, I don't have any bling... so you gotta hear me out on this:
My only problem is I have the GReddy front bumper and Ro_Ja 19's. Over the past year I have scratched the bottom of the kit a few times and even though its not that noticable I went ahead and had the front end totally repainted as a Christmas present. I want to get the car low for looks but high so I can get in and out of driveways, speed bumps, etc.
I can't have coilovers cuzz I need something I can just do quickly from inside the car. I know TopSecret sells something like this that is electronic but it is way over my budget and I'd want something rather quickly.
Heres what I want to do....
I hate seeing any kind of car going down the road bouncing like crazy and doing their air bags up and down like its freakin' hydraulics... I don't want that look... at all. I want all 4 air bags to raise and lower together... thats it. Not the front by itself... not the back by itself... all together, at once, in unison. I also don't want them to "jult" up and down. I want it to be smooth, not jerky... just slow and steady...
So what do I need to get all 4 to raise together [wiring?] have a slow steady flow of air to not get a jult but a gentle rise [regulator of some sort?] I think the only thing I'm worried about most is ride quality....What do I do to keep it from bouncing all over the place like a ricer or mini truck?
Thanks!

Look into the praxis air suspension. Its actually similar to a coilover setup.
- It does just what you want. It moves the car up and down (all at once) just for this purpose, low for the track high for the street.

has what ur looking for kind of. It's not exactly cheap though. I was thinking about doing this to mine but I won't think about doing it if it's not going to give me good ride quality and handling. The shocks are 4 way adjustable but I don't know how it's going to handle. I'm in the same boat as you. I wish there was coilovers that could raise the car with the push of a button.

I know all the new Lambos, Enzo, Ruf's use a suystem where you can raise and lower the front end for driveways, bumps, etc. I'm sure it is available to you if you had it custom made at a scary price!
IMHO that car does not look "tite" in that shot. It looks ridiculous in that low stationery position, like the supsension is broken from being squashed from some heavy object.

RBull, I can agree with you to some extent. But when you have after market bumpers you won't have to slam it that much... just lower it some. Say he had to drop the car 7'', I would only have to drop it 4 or 5'' so it won't look THAT low and tucking.
So I guess the kind of suspension I'm looking for isn't out there below $3000?

Fair point. The concept of dropping it to the level you want is great. That photo was just too over the top to me.
I don't know much about air suspensions so can't help with the cost estimate.
Good luck with it.
