That's something else to consider in an AWD variant, where to keep the tank/compressor. Due to the front diff they have significantly less space in the frunk than the RWD cars.
Obviously it's been done to TTs as shown in this thread so it is possible, but it's something you will need to consider when picking your equipment.
When you drive around like this, aren't you stressed? Aren't you worried that a piece of gravel or an expansion joint might tear off your front bumper?

This is the VRH Umbrella kit I was talking about... Option 2
it's a pneumatic air chamber fitted on top of a coilover, in this case KWV3's which allow for 75mm lift to help get over curbs, speed bumps and driveways. You can drive static low yet still maintain some daily practicality
Tank size for reference.
Any idea on the cost of the VHR system? I dont see prices on their website.
Well the question could have been...WTF are you thinking?....he went the reasonable route. Simple question deserves a simple answer. I'm thinking you want to hang in East LA..
for what it's worth, you generally don't see Donks in East LA
there is a c4s around here with air ride, all I could see was the accuair controller when I saw it a few weeks back. Will dig in if I see him again.
The air management is the easiest part of an air ride system. What's more valuable to OP is if the person needed to change control arms, what struts were used, is there any interference between the bag and other parts, sensor locations.

I looked into this a few years back when I was considering something for my R. I vaguely remember it was $2500-3500 on top of the cost of your coilovers. Some people elect to do just the front struts, some do the front and rear.

Ride height is usually set at the same height as most lowered cars on coilovers. You are really only laid out and slammed when parked in fact, the added ability to go higher to clear driveways and speed bumps is very helpful
Like some of the other posters, I was looking into a rapidly height-adjustable suspension.
My reason was to be able to run the height low for driving on most roads and for autocross, but be able to raise it for steep driveways and parking-lot entrances. I also drive my 996 to go camping and fishing, which sometimes requires driving a few miles on unpaved roads, for which I'd raise it up. I already scraped the engine in a semi-paved campground, and that was when my car was stock US height. I now have the Porsche engine skid plate (see https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...d-plate-4.html).
That hydraulic system looks good for what I would want it for, not sure I could get the some places on some back roads with only a 1.8" height increase though.
My "why" question was just a simple why question. Im very far from being a purist, i just believe that if im buying a certain car i want to use that car for the purpose it was built for. You and i and everyone and their mother can do whatever the hell to their car and other belongings as they please. Most people wont buy a SP or GR car as it stands out more but I wouldn't have it any other way. So if you want to use your pcar as a low rider to cruise in thats all your business and do what pleases you. But when you are asked a simple question as in why out of curiosity you dont need to rant off as if you have to ask then you wouldn't understand. Your ride your choice. I myself have learned a lot from this forum and there is stuff that i learn each and every day. Just my .2 cents, if you want to learn then you need learn how to play
Ok, I'll put my two cents in. So, OP bought a Porsche and wants to remove the suspension which is arguably the #1 defining characteristic of a Porsche and replace it with air bags so it will look like a GTI and handle civic. Ok, yea I don't see a problem with that.

Have you ever ridden in a car with airbags? I thought the same thing until I drove in one/drove one. Very good ride. But you are kind of right...
