What about use the normal suspention, add some small extra air cylinder one on each side in the front just to raise the car 50-60mm when there are some street bump or parking the car.
I think it is possible to make a system like this.
Just have to find out the dimention, cappasity and where to place/conect the small cylinder.
For this solution you need a pump and a airtank.
If my idear Works. there are no pressure on the small air cylinder when driving the car it is only when you wont too raise the car there are pressure on the air cylinder (the piston goes out and raise the car) it will only take 2-3 sekund depend on the type off air cylinder.
after the street bump just let the air out Again, the car is back in normal hight.
Dont know if anybody has tryied this.

Yes, that idea is similar to my red GT5S front end set up shown below with the independent white raiser shocks to raise the car. But I want to get he front end even lower when driving or sitting, so I am just looking at various options. I suppose I can keep what I have on the red car and just cut the springs on the front slightly to get it a little lower, and continue to use the white raiser shocks as needed to raise it to get over stuff. The front coil shocks are already adjusted as low as they go, so would need to cut a little. For some reason I just like more rake on the Panteras. Looking at my MBZ SL65 and 600, they appear to have more rake and almost appear more sporty to me at times, and those are just Mercedes (although I do have lowering kits on them).
