Question Ground Clearance Control!

Hi guys,

I am sick and tired of scratching/damaging my Diablo 93 front bumper due to bad roads/speed bumps.
I am trying to do something about it, and I have been looking and evaluating some of the available Air Lift systems in the market
http://www.suspension.com/airlift7.htm

I believe I have to do some modification in order to install Air spring systems for the front of the car without having to do any work on the existing shock observer.
My question is

Am I going the right way about this?
Did anyone try something like this?
Or is there an easy and simpler way of achieving front ground clearance control?

TIA

The new gallardos have the system...its pretty interesting. As for people who upgrade, I hear the installation isn't too bad at all, the bags hold up great, and for a great amount of time.

Heres a link to how one of the guys did it http://www.lambolounge.com/Chassis/F...t/Air-lift.asp, but i think airbags are the way to go, more cushin. Just remember as someone else has stated on the forum, your shocks may go bad, and each shock costs some $$..that link is to a replica, but either way it will be most likely custom.

Looking at that LamboLounge site. I'm amazed at the effort people put into these replicas. I mean I'm impressed with the effort but at the end of the day you still come up short. Don't see how it could be very gratifying.

Yes , I agree I am also amazed . I am not sure how much Replicas cost $$$$ but here in Kuwait Real Lambos are much cheaper than US and Europe I paid for my 93 Diablo $40,000 and i have seen another 97 Diablo 4wd going for $52,000 I wish i waited and got the 97 instead
