Default What suspension combo would allow me to keep the highest ride height?.....
I'm in Chicago and do not want to worry about potholes and rubbing the exhaust over speed bumps in parking lots...

Thanks.

Default I have the same question and have never been able to get a clear answer (more)
I want a suspension that will give me stock ride height in the winter and an inch lower in the summer. I thought maybe the groved bilsteins with H&R but am not sure this will work.

Default The Bilstein/H&R combo lowers enough but not excessively...
And it's pretty cheap! :-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&amp;PMoI=4&amp;PEI=6&amp;PP =s4_27t_suspension.cfm&amp;PPT=Suspension&amp;IL=H RBilsteinCombo">Clickity-Click</a></li></ul>

Send your car to Monster Garage and have them fit you with some Rancho shocks and Mickey Thompsons.

Stasis allows you to raise the car.

I was thinking that pneumatic stuff...then I could just "jump" the car over speed bumps

Default That's what I'm afraid of - I have an APR exhaust and it seems to hang....
down a bit....I don't mind getting some scrapes on it (it hangs down lower in a spot you'd never see unless you crawled under the car) - I just do not want to break anything!
