Default Slammed!

Saw this on WsM seafront.

It had fully adjustable air suspension, it moved up and down very quickly!
It wasn’t much higher when the owner drove off, made for quite a bumpy ride, reminded me of the old yellow pages advert “I were right about that saddle”!

I just don't get it.... how to ruin a perfectly good car... the ride must be abysmal.

You can adjust the air to make it ride harsher or smoother, air systems have come a long way and are good nowadays.

That said, its very "scene" and I wouldn't ever have it done on a car I own

That's one thing I miss about the Citroen XMs and BXs I owned. I would always drop the suspension when parking (but not while driving). An added bonus was that it made most types of wheel clamps impossible to attach.
