Volkswagen has been making cars for a
very long time, and for as long as they have been building, people like
you have been modifying their cars to suit your own personal tastes.
Now, Air Lift Performance can help you attain the look and driving
character you crave for your MK7-based ride, using 50mm diameter front struts and a twist beam rear suspension.
In front, you need to make sure that
the diameter of the bottom of the strut, where it gets clamped by the
knuckle, is 50mm in diameter. If this measures out to 55mm, then you need to order part number 78522.
VW seems to mix up this specification depending on model and trim.
International customers should take the extra time to determine these
measurements, as we may not have access to your model�۪s requirement at
this time.
For the rear, check to make sure that you have a twist beam suspension. Use the image below to help you identify your type:

If you have a multi-link suspension, you need to order part number 78622.
The Air Lift kits will slam your VW 4.6� (116mm) in front and 5.4� (136mm) out back. The front kit starts with a 30-level damping-adjustable, threaded-body, monotube struts and
progressive rate double bellows air springs. This combo gives you the
ability to tune your ride height and quality to perfectly suit your
taste and mission. To complete the package, we add bright red anodized,
T6061 camber plates that locate the struts with high quality spherical
bearings. The approximately three degrees of camber adjustment that
these plates provide allow for alignment fine-tuning for perfect wheel
fitment or maximum grip.
In the back, the springing duties are
handled by our innovative 2B5 (5.5 inch diameter) progressive-rate,
double-bellows air springs that fit perfectly in the tight package of
the twist beam spring pockets. Controlling the springs are 30-level
damping-adjustable, threaded body monotube shocks that are tuned to
match the character of the springs. Again, no modifications are
requires to properly install this kit!
