your thoughts about Hydraulics?

[guayaballer]

I have always wondered about them. I have never seen a car with hydraulics in real life only in the movies. I was wondering if it was illegal or something and if not would any of you install it on your car.

Not illegal. But unless you have a car that needs it, like a low riding sports car or converting SUV, you're pretty much just begging for attention.

There is a hydrolic car community but you're definately not in if you don't see them around your town. I see a ton in LA but there are only a few in Vegas.

Any sports car should be low-riding since the lower you are, the faster you corner. Any vehicle will handle a lot better with an air ride installed. If you really drop the big bucks into it, you can control it all while driving. Tight sports car suspensions handle well, but they are rough and jolt your bones. An adjustable air ride lets you switch back and forth from a soft, cadillac-style ride and adjust ride height. Some of my friends have driveways that make the front end of my car want to scrape - that's the problem with cars that sit low. An F1 race car sits about an inch off the ground, which works on a perfect road, but trying to go in and out of parking lots would tear the car to pieces.

I have a hot rod project car, an LT1 V8 going into a 300zx, that will hopefully get a $5,000 air ride suspension by the time it hits the road. I'd rather have that than shiny paint.
