how do they work?

Basically,
The gas charged portion of the strut is replaced with an air bag.
Makes it a no foolin' bolt in.

I fitted rams to the front of my stanza wagen. I took out the strut, removed the spring, cut the shock off, and welded a double acting ram in. machined the top to use the original mounting and bob' s your uncle. Used accumilators with electric shut off's for quicker moves. Nine's on the front and 13's on the rear. cut out the inner arches at the back and fitted a new cross member for the rams. Nice big 3 wheel. Might try and get a picture up.. :biggrin: :biggrin:

sounds like you are talking about the coil over kits.

BAsically, the spring sits on a screw device that you can adjust to lower the car 1-3" using a wrench......
