The only positive comment I would have, is that it does look clean and it’s not a huge sum of money.
I do think it will be a hard sel. |

Huge pair of 9" spots up front (removing rear seat and door cards optional) and you'll look the part, even if you never have to slide sideways past an elk... |

Perhaps the air-lift suspension isn't such a dumb idea for lowered vehicles, as it at least offers the option of driving the car at the correct height, and lowering whilst static, rather than trying to find a compromise spring height. |

As for ground clearance, given the number of speed humps and potholes, it's a necessity in most places, also having an aversion to paying for chiropractors, i prefer a slightly higher ride height with more comfort these days. Quote:
An air lift suspension system that can be adjusted while driving gives the best of both worlds allegedly, certainly the only car i've traveled in that had that facility (from the factory which might have some influence) gave a really smooth ride with taut handling. One other benefit of air suspension is if it deflates when parked, it helps reduce the risk of catalytic converter theft as the tea-leaves can't get their trolley jacks under the car - obviously not applicable to most 240s and anything older than 1992 in general but could be useful for some.

I think lowering is just for looks, I doubt there are any other advantages (but lots of disadvantages) over Mr Volvo’s design. Everyone to their own though. Alan

The compromise is a harsher ride but even Volvo lowered their rally/race cars so there must be some advantages, whether we percieve them or not. ![]()
