Just playin. not sure how hydros would work on an xB though, doesn't seem like the frame would be able to hold up to bouncing like that. but if there are some out there, i guess i'm wrong.

Air and hydraulics are COMPLETELY different.
Air is more of a suspension change, where hydraulics are more
of a suspension replacement!
Bad description...um...Air ride is used to adjust ride height.
Hydraulics are used to push thing with LOTS of force.
You've seen those vintage cars rolling on two wheels and
hopping? That's hydraulics.
You've seen a car pump up 6" taller then drop down till it's
belly is rubbing? *Maybe* tilting heavy to one side like it
was jacked up to change a tire? That's air.
Hydraulics are for show, harsh, harsh ride because there is
almost NO PLAY in your suspension anymore.
Air ride can actually improve your suspension depending on
the quality of the build and hardware.

drolix do the same thing bags do, cept for the squishy ride. but with bags, somtimes they have a tendency to roll over on themselves if driven too hard. also, drolix are murder on a unibody, it will twist the body so nasty. but yeah, drolix can do pretty much what bags do, just not a full pancake. side to side, up down, 3 wheel, and its faster.

PS, ME I would care. I plan on having an xB for life. The more that get wrecked also get shreaded. Thus limiting good used parts later down the road.
Duesenbergs are boring and useless. That is why they sit in museums collecting dust.
BTW, still waiting to see the pic from the first post. All I see is a red X

wow, it took me a minute to realize that that is the inside of a scion. I think hydraulics are a bit pointless but you have to respect the work and craftmanship that a vehicle like that has. The overall look is very impressive. WOW !!!
