ohh my love this!!!! how nice it is on the hydros i want :(
such a nice stance when its laying frame
With the hydros does that mean you can do all 4 corners at different times? as thought air was just up and down and hydro was all 4 corners?

It depends really.... Air & hydro have both come a long way in recent years. Depending on what kit you buy/build you can have 2 way or 4 way management.

Two way giving you front up/down. I wouldnt recomend this with air ride as the air under hard cornering will transfer from left to right or visa versa. Giving it a sloppy ride.

Four way giving you each wheel control.

PS. Car looks so good Aaron!  :happy2:

Handling wise hydros is better than air imo… springs can be changed quite easily also so if you prefer a stiff ride then simply change the spring.. i have mine perfect  :happy2: well perfect imo anyway!

and another pic with the trusty iphone

And as already said above you can have either 2 or 4 way. this doesn't require management just simply two extra switches and wired directly to the strut.
