Does it come with a total frontal lobotomy?

I hate it when people put air suspension on a car and claim it's a track weapon! Some uprated shock absorbers is what you need! :slayer:
Low and slow.

Surely no co-incidence that the word "arse" is hidden within their name.
I think some comments have been a little on the harsh side. Obviously the car is too low to be used properly.
But I doubt that's the height it would be driven at and is more of a posing while parked stance.

I'm not bothered by the stance or anything, just the silly scene that tends to come with these sort of thing
i think it's pretty cool. Wouldn't want to own it or drive it, but I like the fact that people are doing these mods. The "how did they do that" factor intrigues me, and it helps to make the 500 a cool car, keeping it in posters on the bedroom walls of kids. Nobody does this to Daewoo Lanoses.

I just think it looks wrong. Like it's parked on quick sand.
Just because something is possible to do, it doesn'tmean you should do it. Eg morris dancing.

I would "like" that but the button appears to have fallen off...
Any lower and it would end up in Australia 
unless you've driven a car on bags you probably have nothing to compare it to. depending the brand they handle just as well if not better than coilovers.

I have to agree. All the best competition cars run airbags rather than coilovers! Oh wait :chin:

It was a bit of sarcasm, which I should have realised you wouldn't get as you're not a regular poster - apologies! I actually think it looks really good, although I think they could have chose a better wheel that the BBS (reps?).
The 500 is a great 'base' to work from, and the more people that start modifying them (tastefully :yum
the better!
Completely agree. The wheels are completely the wrong era for the car.

lol my bad.
it is worth noting that most cars on air or hydraulics are not daily drivers, they are toys. My old 1972 Merc was very low and almost too low for the road but it looked cool and I loved it.
I also had a 1964 Beetle that was very low again not as a daily driver but it looked cool (and was a Volksworld cover and feature car)
