ride height control?

Hey guys,

Any idea on a way to contrl the ride eight of your car while in it, Not jacking it up and taking the tired off.

And not using air bags too.

I was thinking of using air struts but after finding out the I would have a ton of body roll in the lowered position.

Any ideas,

Thanks:hail: :hail: :hail:

other then air bags and air struts. I dont think theres anyway you can raise/lower your car from the inside. Unless you make something that will turn the weight jack while int eh car. Which would raise or lower the car.

I was hoping someone would know of something. I thought about using a starter motor to control the height like that.

I was hoping somone made kit to do this.

Thanks for the reply:hail: :hail: :hail:

I know of something but they dont make them for domestic cars. They are made by the company Tein and they are called the Flex System. Its mostly made for imports. They are electronically adjustable from inside the car, but they are made for racing. So unlike airbags they wont flex during hard corners. Its basically just a high performance strut / coilover system that can adjust itself electronically on the fly.

If I ever get a Lexus (like I want) I'm gonna install the Flex System.
