Yea it's gorgeous!
It's on air bags... so it's dumped while parked and of cousre their are optimal driving heights.

Nah, I couldn't do that, have doubts that the airbags could compare with a good set of coilovers

Worst 5 I've ever seen (and that's including crashed ones). For some, the lower the better and it can't be too low. For me, the standard ride height is the best. I know it's 'on bags' and won't look like that once the engine starts, but it's bad enough that it ever has to look that bad.

Just my humble opinion, ymmv.
