Air bag suspension system that allows you to "literally" slam the car. Also put it to any height you want it to be at. It is done by playing with switches and not cranking like coilovers.

You will lose any performance gains with a airbag. They ar made for show.

Lose performance with an airbag suspension? WRONG, lol sorry to put it bluntly, but your handling will go up dramatically, your braking will be better, and due to the new lower height, drag will be reduced so you will be a fraction faster.

You might be thinking of hydraulics which are heavy and weird but every set up of airbags I have read about was a positive change.

and dont forget the 200 extra pounds in weight u are going to be adding to your car with the air compressors and air tanks and lines, valves, etc. It will take up most if not all of your trunk space=no space for sound system. Plus the ride is not luxurious at all as some imagine, and if not installed perfectly can be very loud and obnoxious. HOwever some decide to sacrifice all this just to be able to slam there car all the way down when they arrive somewhere and out the car.....

there is room for sounds stuff.. it doesnt take up as much room as one would think and i would say its no more then 50 pounds of weight for the set up i have
