CABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM



I thought of this crazy idea to use a system of levers, pulleys and aircraft cable connected to the lower control arms that could be used to alter ride height....

for simplification I'll explain how the back would work (the front will work similar but this idea is so new to me that I haven't thought out the front as of yet)

So basicly you mount a lever or ratcheted drum where the ebrake in your car is(say a stripped ef for sake of arguement) then you run two cables towards the back each one going to a pulley mounted directly above the lower control arm. Then you drill a hole through the floor and connect the cable to the control arm.

When you pull up on the lever, it tightens the cables which pulls the lower control arms closer to the body thereby altering your ride height.

For the people that say its unsafe, well then perhaps the system would only be used when the car is parked (thereby resting the frame on the ground, replacing your e brake )

What do you think? I haven't slept for awhile in case that matters.

 

 

Please tell me your are not serious.....thats so getto and gay on more then one level....

i reccomend this one to pull on the cables in your car:

 

Thats a good idea, electric motor instead of a lever would make it definately gangsta.

 

Gluck finding something thats strong enough to pull and compress the springs that much....

 

and what happens when the cable snaps.

i concur


if you want to lower your car like that buy airstruts... otherwise GTFO

 

there called double adjustible shocks with air springs.

Sperical bearings and serveral sizes.

- Airride suspension

$935 each.

How about a hand crank ?



Rig this up, and you can lower your car and make pasta.

 

Hold on let me get out and raise my car for this road kill on top of this speed bump............ *Grabs 6061 T6 aluminum high performance! Food processor crank out of glove box*

 

Was this thought up for some sort of anti-theft device? or do you just want it to "lay frame"?
