Hydraulics in a sports car (seriously)

Just about everything I have heard is that these systems kill handling.

 

think aobut it too, an extra 200 lbs on either end of the car throws off the balance that the car was designed around

 

Yea, I looked into it for the same reason you were. Except I wanted to set my coil-overs down to where the car sat 1 inch off the ground. So when I was driving I could have the bags up and ride with no problem and when I wanted to have fun I just hit the switch and it drops right down on to the coils. But no luck it kills your handling sorry.

BTW, HYDRAULICS and AIR are two very different things.

However, I will note that raising or lowering the car by 3 millimeters (yes mm) is enough to alter the camber and toe settings on these cars.

With the long/short a-arm suspensions Ferrari uses (Corvette uses this too); the roll center generally moves about 60% faster than the ride height of the car. This leads to geometry effects like when the car is high off the road surface, you need very little spring to control roll, but while the car is low to the road you need much more spring to control roll. Exactly the opposite effect as desired!
