Sitronen....its from Finland. My friends dad has one.

He said that you can control the height of the car, kinda like bags, that comes stock with the car. I've never heard of it or heard of cars coming stock with bag-like suspension.

I've never heard of them, but that suspension is on cars I'm sure you've seen. The new line of Volvo SUVs has it, and I know a few others do, but I can't remember off hand.

BTW - that car is ugly as sin. It looks like someone stole it off the set of Star Trek.

Yeah, that car is hella old. But my friend says the inside has all these computers and stuff. So it must have been pretty high-tech for its time. I dunno about you, but I'd put some 20's on it and rock that bad boy.

Also . . I think that Caddies have that on them stock. . The air ride suspension. . When you shut the car off it sets itself lower. When you start the car it sets up and cousins your ride with the air.

I know some Audi's have that. And isn't it illegal for you to adjust your ride height while in motion?

I thought that was a leveler. There is actually a control in this car where you can set it higher or lower with the push of a button.

Over in Germany, the buses have air ride on them, so it is even with the curb so the wheel chairs can just roll of.

The metro busses here in Santa Cruz kneel down when handicapped people get on. P1mP

My friend had a Lincoln Mark VII with air ride. He couldn't adjust it, but it would do it automatically at certain speeds. That car had one of the nicest rides I've ever been in.

It was nice except for the **** reliability. More than once, the air ride would go out, and he'd be riding with no suspension until he could save up a grand to get it fixed. The fancier your car is, the more there is to break, and the more expensive it is when you have to get it fixed.
