Height Adjustable hydraulic suspension, anyone interested?
Some of you may know I'm going to change my Air spring suspension on the MotaLeira to Coliover shocks with hydraulic spring plaftforms.
In the process of doing this I've discovered a lot.
There only seems to one American company that offers this for conversion of a coilover.
I've managed to source the pump manufacturer and all I am doing right now is getting prices for the manufacture of the rams over here.
I want to gauge interest as to who would like the ability to raise their cars at the flick of a switch and more importantly how much you'd be
willing to pay.
Currently the american 4 wheel system is $2235 or around £1700, plus there would be import duty and VAT to pay on top.
I'd sell the kits as 2 wheel with the option to add extra rams.
Just imagine setting your car up at arount two or three inches from the ground and at the flick of a switch, raise it two and a half inches.
I already have interests from Lamborghini and GT40 replica owners.
Feedback appreciated!

I would certainly be interested in an adjustable hydraulic setup. My front splitter has lived up to its name a few too many times and there are
speed-bump areas which are no-go areas in towns that I regularly visit.
I am currently working on a new project which would benefit from this too.
Cheers,

It seems that just a front 2 wheel set-up is popular for cars with splitters.
I'd offer seperate prices for all parts so you could make up 2 or 4 wheel lifts.

I would be interested, I was looking at making a kit for myself as the other kits are too expensive (all I want to do is lift for a trailer). I have a
pump sorted, would you do the rams on their own?

What is the psi output of the pump?
I still need to get the rams priced and to do my own tests before I sell any.

Anything over 750psi will work, but you will need to make sure there is a check valve and reverse.

I have just thought of a really stupid idea on how to make the front one work for not a lot of money but a bit heavy.
Too ashamed to say what i Thought.
