Default Active suspension

Hey guys.
Active suspension being full air suspension which redirects air into the side user compression in a turn in order to stop the car from rolling.

Has anyone heard of one being installed into a jag? Has anyone installed one? Would it be a good idea? Are there any supliers?

My thought with this being, that instead of keeping the car level, the computer could be set to make the car lean into a bend, thus reducing relative lateral forces on the people inside the car

There are NO bolt on kits, you would have to have something fabricated, which I assure you will be seriously costly!
Cheapest quote I had was knocking on £7500

Holy cow. I figured it may be costly, but that is something else. Cheers for the reply

Shoot, get some "spring assist" bladders from your RV store, weld some plates onto the suspension, rig up a pump and some relays, and a few "mercury switches" and you've got it!

Just kidding

Well I have considered a numatic system linked up to acelerometers (for turns) and sonar (possibly a parking sensor or the likes) to register any potholes or bumps and have the system follow them to keep a steady ride.

But that is all kinda a pipe dream haha
