I recently saw this new suspension at a car show this past weekend. Its a KW HLS Suspension. It is able to give a 45mm lift in seconds to get the car over speed bumps or uneven roads. I already emailed them to see if they could make them for LX's, now just waiting on a reply:popcorn:

Dang, that is "just what the doctor ordered", but a tad expensive. Cool though!

Totally different. The Teins only adjust the dampening. These adjust ride height. Super bad ass, super expensive, super heavy. Neat idea though.

Oh ****, read that too fast... that's gotta be one torquey little motor! Hmmmm.... now to combine both into one ubershock... :-P Honestly, I like this idea better than bags... can't weight a whole lot more than 2 compressors and a tank, and if it fails, you don't drop a corner. Hmmm...

Yeah, I've been looking for something like this for some time. I looked into the airbags too but they won't handle as well at high speeds.

I've always wanted to drop my ride but there are so many speed bumps here. I guess the Germans finally got something right, lol. jus kiddin!

Still waiting on a reply, maybe I will drive over their to there shop and talk to them.

Let us know what KW says John about this new set up of theres and if they will make it for the LX's. This is exactly what I need for my Bee. After lowering the Bee on my current KW's and the 2" (lower than stock fascia) GripTuning front fascia, my Bee sits lower than most extotic cars. This new KW set up would be ideal for me to go over speed bumps I currently can't go over, getting up steep angle driveways and hopefully making it easier to get my car on a lift or up on an alignment rack or oil change.

Me Bee sits lower in the front than this Lambo did.

I sit as low as this Lambo and we are both lower than the Ferrari.
