Has anyone put a air ride system on their mk6 golf? or what are peoples thoughts on putting this system on a golf? and if so what is a good system, and any problems with installation?
And www.airsociety.net prepare to pay just under 4000 with install.Check the mk6 forum on vortex. Plenty have done it. Also check out www.bagriders.com
*** is with the stupid redirect on that page.And www.airsociety.net prepare to pay just under 4000 with install.
An adjustable suspension.Can someone school me on what advantage one has with air suspension in a Golf?
Its basically the alternative for hydraulics, it allows you to have fully adjustable suspension, but instead of having hydraulics, you have air bags, that are powered by a compressor. and yes they could be used for performance because you get a lower center of gravity. but its mostly for looks.So it's a pure performance thing?
If by "performance" you mean "decreasing performance" then yes.So it's a pure performance thing?

Toooooootally different animal, obviously. A well designed air-bag system can be used to assist in towing and payload issues.Got it, thanks. It seemed so strange to see these when they're so common on semi trucks.
They dont go higher than stock.I wouldn't mind being able to raise the car a few inches in snow.
Do you have any pictures or videos of it lowered?I can asure you, with my setup I can carry more weight and tow heavier loads than any standard JSW. The rear bags can lift a hair over 3000 lbs.
As far as performance, I can confidently say it is significantly better than stock ( At least on the JSW ). There is no more brake dive at high speeds, significantly less body roll, and with the stock wheels I have gotten the rear to rotate.
Coil overs preform better, but the right bag setup is not far behind.

This is as high the bags will go:
Care to help me put together an air sys that won't take up any cargo room???those are regular coil-over strut with an airbag on top. You can clearly see the adjustment rings and threads under the bags.
For 3100 UDS I can piece together an Accuair system that blows that one out of the water.
