Great to know, but Citroen has not been available in the US since the 70's. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a rule making height-adjustable suspension systems illegal due to safety concerns. My brother had an ID19 and when he went off to Vietnam in '72 he gave it to me. It was a gas to drive with the suspension and ability to corner fast, great acceleration. But something broke and it was going to cost too much for me to fix, so I sold it as junk. One of its features was that if you got a flat and needed to change the tire, all you had to do was put the adjustable extension on 'charge tire' setting and the car was lifted high enough so you could take the tire off and put a new one on. Just put a support under the side of the car, lower it again, the tires on that side are floating, just change the tire. IIRC the ground clearance was about a foot.
