Stunning colour and spec, congratulations.
Does anyone know how the front end lift works. Is it hydraulic, electric, electric/hydraulic? Have not been able to get a definitive answer. Thanks.
there is actually a hydraulic cylinder on the bottom of the coil spring that raises the spring when you push the button via a hydraulic pump that is mounted in the car

When the Piston is fully collapsed the suspension acts as if there was no piston at all but it has about 40 mm of up-and-down movement. I believe they use a different coil spring to compensate for the thickness of the piston.
Interesting. If the piston when fully collapsed takes up zero length of the spring then the springs could be the same I would think. Thanks.
This is what the unit looks like the Piston is directly under the spring Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here is a unit without lifter by comparison. You can see that the lifter version has the piston burden attached below the spring where the sag adjustment area is located (threaded shock body). This would support that the travel of the suspension rod into the shock body need not be compromised with the lifter option. However, it does appear to limit sag adjustment which explains why it is said you can't lower a lifter suspension on the stock body as far as you can with one that doesn't have the lifter.

Great spec. Congrats. Love the color. Where did you purchase? Was it a Texas car ? Drive it well- it’s hard to take 480 miles and watch it go up and up... ScottS Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
