Haven't heard of anyone doing something like this. Will be interesting to see if anyone has though.

I agree with Jim.
I have thought about it also. I wonder if Air Ride Technologies would have it. I would think they already have something for the C5.

I don't see it being too much of a hassel if one had to fabricate a air ride setup. I think it would be pretty cool. Especially for the showcar guys out there!!

i dont have a pic.....but one of my friends had it on his c5....he doesnt have the car ne more......but it was cool cuz whenever there was a big bump or anything like that he would press the button and his front end would raise about 4-5 inches......the best was when he would park it......it would pretty much sit on the ground......he had a custom stands under it so the car wasnt touching the ground......i would do it to my car.....but its expensive


oh and by the way anything can be done to a car....just need the $$$$$
