Default adjustable suspension

I would love to lower my car a bit for a sportier look and more aggresive handling, however, I tow and trailer on occasion and enjoy driving the car onto Carolina Beach in NC, I will not be able to drive on the beach if lowered. I am interested ina suspension that would allow me to adjust the height from the drivers seat. Does anyone know of such a suspension or suggestions? Thanks.

Flame suit on.

Default sorry. It was a joke. a serious answer would be:

good luck, because your talking about a complete custom job.

Mercedes offered an "airbag suspension for their cars as early as 1970. you could turn a dial, and the airbags would pump up and raise the car about 4 more inches.

building something like that for an S4 would not be cheap, or reasonable. I would expect something like that to set you back about 4k. However, since it'll be a "one off" setup, you had better be prepared for a lot of trips back to the shop before the ride will be acceptable.

talkin' major nightmares.
