Airbags/air shocks on a 3rd gen?
Hey, last friday, I was at a car show and I saw an IROC parked, that was almost touching the ground, but when the guy went to leave, his car raised up to around normal height and he drove off...
Does he have airbags or something inside softer springs? I don't really know too much about airbags and such, but I think thats the only way it could have been done..
any ideas?
thanx

Probably some type of hydro set-up or it's bagged. How fast did it raise up? What sound did it make?

search the topic you'll find out a lot of info. with our cars not only is it a lot of money,time, and fabrication; but it completely hinders the cars performance.

Yeah, i thought about putting air canisters (higher performance bags) on my IROC, but with the time involved, and the massive performance loss.. i changed my mind
