These cars that lower themselves an inch we're a great start for manufacturers, thank y'all for finding them.
I would like to see them vary by up to 6"+ in ride height. In optimal circumstances, cars would ride as low as the .300 's Porsche in Post #1. Along comes a raccoon carcass and uuuppp it goes. Within 0.5 seconds after the danger has passed, the suspension would be dropping downward.
In regards to bumper regulations, I would not expect this in 'Murica, except MAYBE Cadillac. Porsche, BMW, MBZ; those I could see having this in less than 5 years. And they would probably be in Europe. The makers could get governmental approval to have this technology in a few select models on the road. Eventually, cars such as the Prius would get this technology, hopefully.
