You inflate the airbags enough to get a jack under it.

interesting. ive heard of lowering cars to improve the handling but can you do more than just drive in a straight line in it?

Yup. Easily.

I don't think you guys get the idea of air suspension...At rest, the car is dropped onto it's crossmembers.

When moving, it raises up to a normal driving height.

£1200-£3000...Depends what you want and whether or not you can do the work yourself.

It's a similar cost for hydraulics...So you need to look at what you want...Juice lets you bounce and hit the three-wheel motion, air gives a much smoother ride.
