guys, anyone know how these dudes abroad have their suspension raised and then at the press of a button the suspension sits down. How is that mod done and is it possible on our cars ?

Hey Khaadu,

I dont know much about these systems, or whether they are hydraulic or pneumatic etc etc, however i do know that sometimes you need to have close to 5-8 extra car batteries (in the trunk) when you have such a system (or one type of such a system) and thats becomes quite heavy on your car and wallet!

u get whole suspension systems, which can be raised or dropped a 3-5 inches, they cost between $3-$5k

Hi
I think the mods that you are asking for are typical of Lowriders in the States. The lifting / dropping of the cars are controlled by Pneumatic systems , extra batteries, lowering the suspension coils and also using a Pneumatic controller to manage the moves to be made.

You can get lotsa info on lowriders by searching on google
