Thing is I'm rubbing something awful on the driveway at the office and I can't go to most of the local food places even at the steepest of approach angles. I wouldnt mind adding a couple lbs of weight if its just a matter of putting a couple small lightweight airbags inside the springs and a small compressor.

I know adding weight is the worst sin but I feel like I'm going to lose this front end. The driveways in Malibu and Diamond bar (my two offices) are crazy and I really would like to take my coilovers down even lower if I could bump up the front for a minute or two.

Is this a stupid question? Maybe there's something already out there? (No I do not want hydraulics....HAHAHA)

Wholly crap those are pricey! What exactly does CAF stand for? I was thinking Canadian Funds but that wouldnt make sense.

Sure would be cool though, plus they don't fit my KW's...oh well, worth asking, thanks man!

Block of wood. For the price of the above I could hire a guy to ride in the passenger seat, jump out at every driveway and push the board...plus I'd have someone to talk to on the road

Can't get over how much they are, should of figured.

Midget's are not that easy to find. Tried to find one for a bachelor party once, she never showed. Bummed me out, would of been funny.
