![]() With all four struts installed and the air lines all routed, the only thing left to do now is final wiring of the 3P management followed by a shakedown test and wheel alignment. Performance isn’t just in Air Lift’s name, it’s in our DNA! In fact, there’s even bolt-in camber plates on the front struts (made of T6061 red anodized aluminum) to allow precise alignment-tuning capability when dialing in a track setup. Henry and the team have opted for a fairly neutral setup initially before hitting the track and making any further adjustments using the easily-accessible adjuster nobs. Double bellows bags are used all round, with the front strut opting for a bag-over style strut design and the rear opting for monotube shocks.Įvery corner provides 30 levels of damping adjustment for track and street use. It’s when you take a closer look at the kit you can appreciate the research and development that goes into every Air Lift Performance upgrade. Oh, and we’ve also just launched a similar kit for Mk7s fitted with twist beam rear suspension too! What that means is, even without ANY modification, the Air Lift Performance Mk7 kit allows 4.8 inches of drop on the front axle and 5.8 inches on the rear. ![]() Each strut replaces the OEM item, and there’s even custom proprietary lower control arms on the rear for precise bag installation. Suitable for all Mk7 VWs fitted with independent rear suspension, this is easily one of our most comprehensive kits available right now. Brave pills are highly recommended when hitting Goodwood for the first time!īack to the Golf R, and over the past three days Henry and the team at Riiva Design have been flat out prepping it for Goodwood with the help of Air Lift Performance struts and 3P management. In fact, the current lap record stands at a cool 1:18.217 (set by a Lola race car) which equates to an average speed of 106mph. Hit the track in something with a bit of poke and you’ll be averaging 90mph over the 2.3-mile course. But just how fast could it be with a little Air Lift Performance magic? That’s exactly what we’re here to find out… Even in standard trim the Mk7 R is seriously fast, thanks in part to its 300bhp turbocharged motor and all-wheel-drive. Last week we introduced you to our latest project destined for Players Classic Goodwood, the Air Lift Performance Mk7 Golf R.
