Suspension *lift system* feeler

We have been working with a company from Japan called Roberuta. They are interested in possibly making a *lift system* for the C63, to assist you going up steep driveways etc. This is essentially the same type system that is used OEM on the Lambos, to automatically lift the front of the car with a push of a button. Does not alter ride, does not alter handling. This is just a feeler to see what I might relay to them.

Clearance is usually worse pointed downhill AKA backing up an incline. Only time I have had issues is getting on a trailer so we use step ups. Usually an angled frontal approach is enough for any street conditions.

Concentrate on the Secondary CATs removal pipes and the SL63 style grill. We don't want you to become "scatter-brained" with so many projects.

So you will have your own C63 tune and offer Kleemann's?

Side note: Hope you are feeling better as the days go by. I was in a pretty bad accident with my '07 GTI (some idiot ran the stop sign) and I was in pain for over a year.

Yes, we will offer both tunes, the Kleeman is very nice, good price point, and world class reputation. Our tune will be more aggressive, based on our racing heritage and knowledge, our company doesn't quite have near the *Panache* of Kleeman, hence our tune might not fit everyone's needs, so in my mind it's good to offer clients a choice.

To be truthful, I'm not feeling all that much better, but I'm taking things day by day, and listening intently to my doctor's recommendations. My daughter is also not feeling so hot, this coupled with the doc telling her she cannot compete (she is a Varsity cheerleader), which is killing her. But thank you for asking, I truly appreciate that!! Wow, so you got hit like us and you had pain for a year ?? wow...

H&R Springs was the first mod I did I have PP and I like stiff car so when I put on H&R springs it became really soft so I took it out. But how it looks was great I loved it.

I too have the problem of going up my steep driveway to my garage, it would be nice to have just a little bit of clearence. I know it rubs just a tiny bit on the exaust piping i think.
