Default Pump-Up Shocks?

1st post
--------

Has anyone here ever installed pump-up shockers on a C4?
I'm building a lowered C4 convertible with a modified VanaCorvette Nighthawk body kit.
Ground clearance is at a minimum due to the mods & the kit being much longer than stock. The only solution I can think of to get over speed humps and the like, is to have pump-ups when the situation requires. Any info appreciated.

thanks Vinnie, but I should have included this: I am the builder by customer request. It's not my choice. I'm just trying to find someone who has done this before. There's a lot of choices in this area on the web. I'm trying to find one that works, tried & true. It's just nice to be able to push a button and clear an obstacle without drama. Good on ya Vinnie.
