This kit will be slow but you can buy more compressors or an uprated one for it to lift faster. Lowering speed depends on how open the slow valve is.

can these be operated whilst the car in motion - or do u have to be stationary? always wondered

These would be ideal for me - cause I cant lower my car cause of where I live and the missus live on an unmade private road which is worse than a farm track; also my driveway at my house in southampton is really high
but these would be ideal - do they raise/lower a considerable distance
