hydraulics?

[statictonic]

I was wondering if theirs such a thing as hydraulics for a protege so i can raise the car up to stock height or lower it 3 inchs from inside the car, my dilema is, i live in an area where snow is a big problem, and it cant always be lowered, as that makes getting stuck much easier.

Adjustable coilovers would be a much more economical option than hydraulics.

What exactly are those, and where could i get some that wouldn't cause me any problems? Also I imagine these arnt very easy to install where's a good place to get something like that installed?

My friend had Air-Ride on his Protege 5 and he had a lot of problems out of it....i would do some serious research before you decide on what your gonna do, I would hang with the adjustable coilovers as well......

Are you referring to the white P5 with orange graffics?

Maybe ProjectProtege will do some hydraulics to go along with his 19's, and then we can see how they work.

I just wish he would wreck his car and get it over with.

All in good time. Somewhere out there is a pothole with his name on it.

Back on topic though, I think it would be really nice to have internally adjustable shocks, not a full ghetto-mobile hydraulics kit but just a simple electronic control for coilovers or something like that.

And I am digging it.

Either way you do it your gonna have to upgrade the electrical system. Hydros are messy I'd go with bags but also remember they are going to eat up alot of space.

coilovers are ****, stay away from them! unless youre going to get yourself a true coilover system, like from tein or something which would cost you well over a grand. unless you plan on racing your 'ge, go with air bag suspension. from my experience air bag suspension works very well, and you can always slam it when you park in a lot and really turn a few heads... of course you could do this with a coilover system, if you dont mind jacking up the car and whipping out the socket set.
