Caveat Emptor!
I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Reread what I said on this thread (or other threads for that matter). You're just making yourself look silly.So I guess you know everything that I know about the product? Damn you're presumptuous.. airbags have been around for decades..its public domain. Improving on that concept doesn't mean its a "chinese knock off" as you say. And btw anyone can botch the install of any car part. Does that make the product inferior? No. What have you got to gain by bashing Ravi's work?? nothing other than looking really bad. And no I'm no "fan boy"...... And yes he's always improving his design... I really don't care if you have valid reasons for bashing someone's products but you can't just say its trash.

btw.. I happen to know Ravi's machinist. He's a distant relative. The machine work is top notch but machinist are only as good as the specs they are given. Who said anything about airbags. Who said anything about chinese knock offs? LOL, dude.. you're cracking me up.
He's a friend of mine and I want you to clarify what you mean by his kit is a "copy" ?
The topic asked if Umbrella was the only option. The answer was no, and other options were cited.
Umbrella is a lift system too. It is not a. VRH. If it can be called a VRH like an Airrunner airbag system. If it can be called a VRH, than technically the iLift can be called a VRH since it offers two height positions. It is not advisable to drive on a cup system in the up position anyway, so I doubt either manufacturer of the cup lift systems would classify their product as a true VRH.
HOWEVER, since the iLift system has its own topic now, I'll no longer reference the iLift system if I post in this topic again.
Good to have options in the community. I just finished install my Umbrella Variable Ride Height Kit. I am able to vary the height i want the system to go up or down. it can be full up or down or a little up and a little down. I was able to drive around with the system all the way up without any noticeable ride difference, except it was a little stiffer.
Exactly. It changes the way the coil overs act. Having the cup fully filled with air or partially filled with air changes the suspension dampening. It can be done, but not a good idea IMHO. The competition can technically fill the cups partially too if the manufacturer so desired to have the system operate that way. He chose to not allow that. An airbag system would be a better choice than a cup system if one wanted to vary ride height via air pressure.
We all know how the Umbrella system works. It's been around for a while and is a good option. Personally, I don't want to ride on an air cushion do I always choose to lower the cup ASAP and continue driving.
Can I just say something? I think this 9 page thread is has a terrible subject. The entire post had turned into talk about the iLift (which I don't have any issues with) but the title basically is titled with the competitors name. It keeps getting bumped over and over. I am not blaming anyone for this, but I think it is in bad taste to leave that subject line and continue on this thread basically showing an alternative to the VRH. I think the iLift product is good on its own and should have its own thread. If the posts on this thread are valuable and it must go on, then perhaps a mod should at least edit the title. I am not on either side, I just think it is a bit unfair to Umbrella to have this thread going like it is with this header.
