it's hydraulics BTW.

Know anyone looking for a 2 pump, 4 dump 4 battery system? Every part is chrome, gold or polished. Even the battery rack is 24k gold plated. I want to sell it.

When your car cradles back and forth doesn't it damage your transmission?

Thanks. It's from a company named Hydroholics. It's cool because it's a one pump setup that can basically do anything a four pump can...

Can you drive with it on the ground? What's the ride quality like? How about handling?

All things I've wondered with this type of set up.

Something is obviously messed up in your suspension.

Looks good slammed. Thats a nice clean set-up too. Its cool that you still have a trunk instead of a ton of pumps and batteries back there.

Why would it damage his transmission? The only thing I see possibly getting damaged are the axles due to all that articulation which they weren't designed for.

Actually quite a few of the benzes that you sell have hydraulics in them. They're just factory installed.

Thanks! I definitely need to utilize my trunk, as this is my only car and I have to carry a lot of detailing supplies in it

I can sort of dig it from a practical standpoint. After lowering my DD like an idiot, I now find myself swerving around every little imperfection in the road. I feel that air ride or possibly hydraulics would have been a better alternative.

The wheels are classy.
