Drooling is about the best option when looking at that car. I love that year, and pipes. I want that car black with more unique rims though.

I hear that! They have speed humps here you could live inside! And, just to spice your life up, you'll be driving along a road that has never had a speed hump and WHAM!!! Your head is in the roof and your front wheels are inside out - for what ever reason, they've decided to lay a speed hump but there's no warning sign and the speed hump isn't painted, so it's perfectly camouflaged. Clever huh?

air ride suspension anyone??? I don't know the specifics of this beautiful c3, but with modern suspension... you can have your low stance for boulevard cruises, and rise above the rest with a little push of a button.

There have been a few threads on air bag suspension for C3s, and while the front would not be that hard...the general consensus was that the rear would have to be changed to a coil setup. While that's fine for a skilled fabricator...if someone were to have their C3 converted to rear coils or air bags it would cost a LOT. Thoughts?

It's be cheaper to attach some sacrificial titanium blocks at the low points. You'ld get real perty white sparks then when you scraped

I think you're right thought Matt, I reckon it would cost a mint...
