Today I went to the Electronic Hydralic Suspension shop I saw on the magazine to learn more about it
I learnt about some info concerned with the set:
1) the most appropriate range of strokes (a) of the damper would be at least 130mm; to allow enough room to raise the car above the ground using the electronic hydraulic
2) it would be best if the damper's height (b) is adjustable; to adjust the minimum height above the ground (how low) the car should ever get
3) in the trunk, the gas tank, the pumps and etc. together would take up approximately 100cm x 30cm of space should the layout of the set be long rectangular (could be squary instead)
4) a covering box can be built to cover the set in the trunk to protect the set unless one wants to show off
5) a remote control is provided
6) an internal control cluster (with switches and a round digital meter) will be installed if original internal dash boards were to be preserved (the cluster doesn't look so good thou)
7) the remote control can control the height of the car by visual from outside (one can then get the readings from the digital meter inside for future reference once the height is deemed appropriate from outside)
8) the internal control cluster can control the height of the car based on the readings from the digital meter inside
9) parts ordering takes 4 to 5 weeks, all ordered from USA
10) they take 50% deposit up front
11) installation takes 4 to 5 days
12) one year warranty
13) because each set of the hydralic/air-springs and dampers are unique for each model/brand, except for these parts, most parts are available locally should repair work be required
14) the set of the hydralic/air-springs and dampers are the most expensive part of the set, and the rest of the set can be re-used on another car
... finally...
everything above (height adjustable dampers included): HK$25000
There are further details, but it would be their concerns, I don't want to know about those issues

Does the price included installation??
And do you really need that?
