Default Anyone know where to get..

So as the title says, I am looking for a suspension setup that has the ability to change the ride height at the push of a button. I am NOT looking for an airbag system, but rather something that will handle well but still give me this feature (I have a very steep driveway but would like to be able to lower my car some).

I am thinking along the lines of the Lamborghini system for getting over speed bumps. So far I have an email out to Ohlins US office to see if they offer anything that would fit the S, but have not heard back yet.

I also know there was a airstrut system created for Subarus that would have the desired affect, but they are not available in a universal version nor were they made for the S.

This looks like just what I was imagining. I was surprised no one came up with a kit that would simply add a motor or other actuator to the manual adjustment of any good coilover.

Thanks

Standard Type Front Cup Kit - $2610
Optional Rear Cup Kit - $1595
Optional Remote Control System - $870

Not sure what the optional remote control system is... I would imagine that the standard kit would have to have some sort of remote unless it is meant just to allow electronic adjustment versus manual w/ wrench.

I would probably skip the rears since I just need to raise the front enough to get up the driveway. Still.. quite expensive and definitely not for everyone.

I always wanted this feature but never found a company that made one. The price seems about right.

VRH suspension. It's made for the NSX, but you could ask them

But it is not a coil over. It is a separate/different type of part. It is also made in very low quantities; hence the price.

I understand that. I'm just stating that the add-on will likely cost more then the coilover itself.
