The Air Lift
Performance threaded body struts will not only offer you the ability to
lay subframe, but will also give you superior handling��_all without
sacrificing ride comfort. Lowered coils or coilovers will give you some
of these features, but you�۪ll always find yourself compromising at
least one of your favorite ride characteristics. We don�۪t believe you
need to compromise if you want to have a lowered look, performance
handling, and great ride quality. You can get the best of all worlds
with ALP air suspension; all it takes is a push of a button to lift up
and clear obstacles, or lay your ride out low at a show. With our
extensive racetrack testing, you can rest assured that your car will not
only perform on the street, but on the track as well.
In order to drop the front 5.8 inches from factory height, we went
with a fully threaded mono-tube strut, utilizing a smooth-riding,
double-bellow air spring. Bolt-in camber plates, made of T6061 red
anodized aluminum, provide alignment-tuning capability and help with
wheel fitment. Thanks to the threaded body strut design, the height of
the lower mount can be changed, enabling you to further adjust your
height depending on wheel and tire size. With 30 different levels of
damping, you can go from a soft, smooth ride to a race-car-like
stiffness with the twist of the knob. For the R32 or TT, there is no
sway bar attachment to the struts.
For the rear, we use a progressive-rate, tapered sleeve nestled in
the place of the coil spring. This style of air spring will give you
excellent ride quality and overall handling performance. A threaded
body mono-tube shock with 30 levels of damping adjustment take the
bounce out of the system, giving your ride very predictable and stable
handling. All of this equates to a 4.9 inches drop in the rear.
