Had trouble last year with dragging bumper over speed bumps or my garage.I needed to be able to crawl over things and then go back to my set ride height.
Stance air cups to lift up front when needed.Compessor and air tank fit in trunk.
Also they are testing something for the rear of the car.

Working on prep for 3 weeks.Block sanding.Primer with guide coat. More sanding.After market hood and fenders not as strait as I thought.All Carbon Fiber.I will just leave a little CF showing.My taste is not to have the hood and fenders showing all carbon fiber.All in the prep for a nice paint job.I will be using a new high soild clear I have not tried but have seen great results.
