We have seen pictures of it at least and on YouTube we can even see them dancing: lowriders.
This lowering of cars has been happening since the late 30s, mainly by Hispanos on the west coast of America. So it is already a classic branch of the service. In the beginning, the low looks were controlled by deadly loading sandbags into the car. Talented technicians cut down by cutting or heating the springs.
This was prohibited, because by law a car could only be lowered so far that the entire rim was visible from the side. In the 60s, the solution to that problem was found by controlling the height of the car with hydraulic parts that were scored on the many airplane graveyards that were filled with WWII fighter planes.
This allowed the car to be hydraulically lifted to the legal height… If necessary. In addition, some play with the control valves of the hydraulics gave the possibility to control the wheels individually ... Making the car jump and dance ...
If you want to put something jumpy on the wheels yourself: be careful. The hydraulic pressures that are used are not for the cat. And realize that a lowrider can be used to a limited extent for shopping or to go on holiday with.
