do you mean AirRide? does it really get that low
or is this a Photo shop thing?

[Protegelover]

Sweet Protege5!!! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif
Thats lowQ http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

When our regular cars get that low it gets very unattractive. I would prefer to see an older caddillac and impala like those in the Rap videos.
Just my wee opinion.

[markque]

Sweet??? I beg to differ. That car looks like it has broken springs! Reminds me of some Chevy Chevettes back about 20 years that were driven into the ground - they looked like that.
I'll stick with the stock wheels and suspension - nuttin' wrong with dem! If anything, I'd prefer if the car sat higher in stock form.
Heaven help the guy if he gets detoured in a construction zone with others barking up the rear. After hundreds of dollars of plastic parts ripped off (his stock GFX kit), he'd be cryin' and the others laughing! Not to mention any vulnerable exhaust components, parking brake cables, etc.
I shudder to think how some of these cars have lost their everyday utilitarianism. Fine in a perfect world with roads as smooth as butter...

He would probably raise it up to drive and for sure all the way up in construction and bumpy roads.

So this picture is real then?

PHOTOCHOP!!  The rims are yellow and the front wheel area is very blurry.  To get the front that low you would need more then airbags.  You would have to do a complete body drop in the front.  The front wheels are only a couple inches below the hood line.  Try to find some more pics of this car.

it is photoshopped

[lizard]

Well after seeing that custome painted P5 with 19" rims I did not give this one a closer inspection.
IT may be photoshop. I can see the front wheels are turned a bit which wold probably not allow dropping it all the way.

The yellow rims and windows appeared genuine.
Any way i think its possible to get it that way.

[ReMuXieD]

its photoshopped...
if you look at the rear wheel and the rear bumper, u can see like 3 - inch ground clearance, but if the wheels are taht high up, the car is impossible to have that much clearance

[pawood]

I'm dating myself again, but... have any of you ever seen a French car called the Citroen? It had a completely hydraulic suspension which you could adjust. The first ones has 63 hp, but because of the body shape (they looked like a catfish) and the ability to lower themselves to 3" ground clearance, they could travel at well over 100 mph! Of course the 0 to 60 time was over 27 seconds.

These cars there absolute pigs when it came to maintenance!!

The most elegant of these models was the 1973 Citroen Masseratti. It had all the problems PLUS a hybrid Italian sportscar motor!

And yes... I agree... that pic ain't real!

[Protege5 Kid]

I know that car Pawood. Didn't Citroen make a
car that could still drive, even if it had a flat?

[ToLowMP5]

heres my p5 with air ride that pic could be real if the car was floating the car would sit on the ground with the wheels that high in the fender and the pic there is at least 6-8 inches of clearance from the ground

[lizard]

Hey ToLowmp5
could you post some pics showing the lowest (sit on the ground) and the highest that your ride will go?
Also please post how much the setup has cost you.
THanks
L:>~

[ToLowMP5]

heres a pic comparing it to a stock p5 when it is at the top it is stock height

it cost around $3400 for parts and to get it installed some where look at spending $1000 i installed it with my dad saved my self a bit of money but it took 3 days staight of work to get it in working order stil need to finish the setup of the parts in the trunk

[Eds mp5]

hey looks pretty sweet. Hows the ride? Do you have the valves that exchange the air between the sides so that when cornering you don't lose air pressure?

Can you make it bounce??? How much room did the Air tanks take up in the back of the trunk?

Thanks id love to see it one day, looks like i missed you at BK.
Ed

[ToLowMP5]

the ride i almost stock i don't have any valves but i don't losee air pressure either the tank doesn't take up that much it about ten inches wide by 33 inches long so very little space is used i'll probally come to the next meet hopefully with it looking a little better as my trunk was full with work crap
