Well since watching fast and furious i always wanted to make either my honda prelude as the guy did in 2F2F one side down then the other 1 ........... Since my honda prelude is older car and still nice and has lots of mods ............ i am kinda looking into if any of u did a scion xa as low rider? ....u know what i mean like hydraulic .....?
I am not looking into my car jumping etc........i would like to just that my car goes to the ground :) ............and back to what it was be4 :)
how much would something like that cost? :lalala:

Well I can't say that it is a good idea, but it is different from the usual JDM look.
However, I don't think it will fit with the style of our cars. When you think lowrider, you think chrome and gold plating, 72 spoke wheels, super low-scratch the pavement kind of car.
imo, it's leaning a bit towards the "ricer image" if it's done to our cars.

I dont think you mean low rider per say...what you are talking about is having hydraulics or Air bags in order to be able to drop the car to the ground and then be able to bring it back up. If that is what you want...then I reallly have never seen an xa with bags...that is actually a really good idea...hummm :)

actually i think that air ride would be alot better for your car than hydros
first of all you will have a smother ride.
you do not have to worry about having more than one car battary
you dont have to worry about fires (and yes i have seen it happen)
you dont have to worry about springing a leak and fluid going all over the place.
i think that the xA and the aB have the same suspention so i think that the kit that i have might fit. i got mine from easy street (www.airliftcompany.com) . i do not think that they have done an xa so if you ask me it might be an easy way to get a sponcership from them. well it would not hurt to ask. cause if you are their first and you take all the pix and do a little tech for them. They might just do it.
well if you have any questions give me a shout

hahahahah EMU 3 times posted? hahahah....... YES YES YES this answer i needed to acctualy check what u think about it .....so its called airbags? how that stuff works ? i will check into the site that u gave me...........and i like the scion that EMU posted i would like to have something to do with it in the future .......
oops...yeah sorry bout that...its like an airbag in the case that it can go up and down...but, the good thing about it is that it can perform, unlike most typical airbag setups...you can still do spirited driving.
