I am new to the whole Hydraulic scene.
I have a ' 77 Cougar and have decided to make a hydraulic suspension my new summer project.
I am looking for an alternative to an expensive fluid system.

Please respond with alternatives and very rough cost


thankyou for your time

How fast do you want it. Our fastest kit will put you up in under a sec. is that fast enough?

Fast is good, but that also depends on the cost for that speed.

Average speed is fine, i am more concerned about the hyrdaulics ability to hold my car, and the lifespan of the product.

You keep saying hydraulics....do you want hydraulics or bags?

Here is what i want, hopefully you can tell if this product, or another product can do this.

I want to be able to raise and lower all corners of the car. Im not looking to bounce the car at all, just raise and lower the sides in proportion to each other.
The reason I am trying to stay away from hydraulic fuild systems is because of the high cost, and the amount of dry cells needed to run the system. The only electrical modification i hope i have to do, is maybe install a larger alternator. I drain a large amount of power as is because of my stereo, to compensate for that large power drain i install a 1 farad capacitor to buffer.

Please advise.

Air bag will definitely get it done. Next problem is we have not done one yet. I might have a universal kit though. What type of suspension is on this car front and rear.
