Default Nose lift for Mustangs?

Im getting a $8500 repaint on my car and one of my biggest problems is scrapping the bottom of my front bumper. Does anyone know of a company that make a nose lift kit for Mustangs? Similar to the ones on Lamborghini's and Ferrari's. Life would be easier if I could just hit a button to lift the nose of my car when I come across a elevated area without damaging my car. Such as speed bumps, parking lot entrance and steep drive ways. This will help alot. Thanks

He has the Cervini's kit, and if I remember correctly, is lowered. Someone suggested bagging it on another board. I'll second that.

not entirely sure if they make it for mustangs, but they do make some mighty nice coilovers, i'm going to pick up the kw variant 3.

but type in KW HLS (Hydraulic Lift System) into the kw website. it looks like a lot of fun. (they do not yet have this system for the mustang, but no doubt it will be in the future if more people get on the kw bus)

bags is the best answer. they don't hinder performance. they actually improve it.

I keep kicking myself in the *** for not getting a contact name at SEMA...there was a company that had a Charger on display that was bagged out - but not ghetto style! It had 4 different lift settings, and operated so smoothly it was amazing! I'll do some internet searching to see if I can find them...I share the same scraping problem, trust me!!!

Dont bags help ride quality but hurt performance? My performance shop told me to stay away from air ride if I want better handling. In the near future I am going to put the full griggs racing set up. I want european supercar type handling in my Mustang and I dont think I can get that with air ride.

Here's something to consider. Keep it raised while driving then drop it when parked or at a show, or racing.
