lowering 200

Hi

Itīs not the same system like on the 700/900 because it is not self adjusting. Everytime I want to haul some heavy load I have to go to a gas station and fill the shocks with compressed air, till the rear end is high enough and has the reserves needed, to become horizontal again when the trunk is fully loaded. The pressure inside the shocks is measured by a pressure gauge inside the engine bay. So I donīt know exactly if it calls nivomat or not, it is just a very nice thing when hauling heavy things around. :-)

By the way - thank you all for the input - Iīll check out the best solution without lowering only the front. The handling arguments sound very convincing and logical!

Ciao M.P.
