    airbags roflmaoooo,thats for east L.A mate :rolleyes:

    either get the correct suspension setup for your needs,or move

    Suggesting airbags tells me you just want a low car to be a show pony rather than something thst actually handles anyway :bash:
    Maybe just put stock suspension on,join a 4wd club and be done with it

    i think top secret have developed a suspension kit that you can raise the height of the front of the car from the cabin (most supercars already have this these days)...think it is 6-7k or something like this.....hell of a lot easier and better than some gay airbags...

    Yep, you're right Erik. They are VERY expensive (actually closer to AUD$8k), but you can get them if you insist on driving up a particular stupid driveway.... :p

    They're called Roberuta Cup Kits.

    LINKY-POO

    I was actually looking into getting these a year or so ago, but simply couldn't justify spending over $8k for the setup! :eek:


    **EDIT** You beat me to it Erik :zlove:

    yeah thats right benny, but if i were to ever get them i would only bother with the front setup and the controller....there isnt really any need for the rears unless you want this kit purely just so you can raise or lower your car via a button....whereas i would just get the front kit so you can enter certain driveways or go over bigger speed humps....

    alot of supercars today only have this at the front of the car to lower the lip when encountering awkward entrances...

    i know tire factory stocks airbags that are just for this type of problem. the bags sit within the coil springs and when you inflate via a compressor it raises the ride height. go over the bump, deflate the bag and your ride height and handling is back to A-grade.
    choose 2 or 4 bags and a 12V tire inflator.

    edit: :worthless:

    Would be harder to steal ramp if it was bolted down.

    mate the bags i mentioned will only raise your car so much and it may not be enough to get over this driveway. its time-consuming as it runs off tire inflators; more like a once-a-day thing. it wont get you in with the lowriding esse's though :)

    Time to get your own place dude! Or what about hiring a storage unit if you don't need it every day?

    Sounds extreme but you can't leave it out, you can't get it down the drive without damaging it...

    You could probably take some of the harshness out of the bottom curve with timber or a ramp but looks like your ****ed as far as the top goes...

    hey rob yeah cars running ok not 100% gotta get it tuned again it has always had a vac leak and it was tuned like that, found it thou on the balance tube a pipe comes off it that sucks air in it was superpose to be caped off, so when i put my finger on it the revs go down till it stalls so i just leave it off till i get it tuned for the 3rd time.
    Yeah i got the car in with timbers harder to get it out thou.
