Hydrolics...what are they?
Hydraulics (note the spelling) won't help you though...not in the air-ride way that you're implying. A proper active suspension, as some automakers have toyed with through time (even made to Formula 1 for a year or two) would help...but not a totally canted car with one side dragging on the ground and the other side way up high. |

You don't actually want one side of the car 'higher' than the other. It's the stiffness on the bound side that keeps the car from rolling into a corner. You pretty much want it to be as flat as possible.
As for hydraulics, the systems are so heavy that any possible gains (which I can't see) in cornering would be lost to extra weight. |

2 wheels is an entirely different cornering principle than 4 |

If my spell checker thinks its ok, then it exists, irregardless of what you might think. :p
There are lots of cars with air-ride that is speed sensitive for stability, but I don't remember seeing any production cars that leaned like that although its used on highspeed trains (but that's completely different). It would be cool to see if somebody could build a fully active suspension system like that, but incorporated caster/camber as well. |

| You need to loose the American spell checker man. They don't even know how to spell simple things like colour. |
