Hook it up, lets here about some and how they are done...
Also, trucks.... maybe body drops or something. i know what they are, the basic idea, but how is it really done?

3 ways really for euros...
1. coilovers - really designed for racing
2. Lowering springs - pretty simple, just replace old springs with new ones
3. Bags - depending on what car, bags or struts

Minitruckin has c- notching, switches, and bags

anyone else??

Actually there are 4 ways:

The 3 you said and the other is put a 50lb rock in trunk and its lowered..

don't for get cylinders they are better than bage in my opionion you can suck the will up in the wheel well with them...

coil over suspension is just that, a coil over the shock, the shorter the coil the lower the car, no real control over it though

I didn't think there was a decent airbag strutt yet, dont they tear after a whils because they cant twist and absorb shock the way a mcpherson strutt requires ? the bagged strutts out there are in the right direction i reckon they just need some more work.

hdro replacement sturtts are sorted for mcpherson strutt replacements now.

ride height will always depend on the length and strength of the sping.

don't they have a MCPH strut with bags now....

They've been about for a while but pretty poor quality and the bags keep ripping and stuff.

FATDADDY is one of the UK's hydro/air suppliers and does alot of development to make stuff work right.
