So why is she not a fan of it?

She’s not a fan of any mod lol, but doesn’t really like the ride. She’s not going to like it’s replacement either, but it’s all due to her TBI…..massive accident back in 2016 and her neck/head can barely take her Ford Edge suspension

That sucks. What's the replacement?

That sucks. What's the replacement?

don't know yet.....talking with Adam about either coilovers or a spring/shock combo if I can find the right height that I like.

Is this kit GTI specific or will if fit an R also? Been looking at options for a while now. Love the lowered look, but with a family I cand go low full time due to bottoming out. This might be a good solution.

So according to the Raceland website they actually have a different kit for an R. I’m not sure exactly what the difference would be, but expect it’s for the rear end due to being awd

It’s the same kit. They just use the numbers for tracking, raceland does that with coilovers too.. the classic kit is the same for the r and GtI that they physically send out.

All mqb cars use the same air strut kits (regardless of brand) *except universal air they actually use different bags and match dampers depending on the weight and travel expected from each vehicle

- gti,a3,golf r,Tiguan,atlas,Arteon… it’s the same kit brands like airlift actually send out.

The misses about slapped me at the mere mention of such destroying of the car.......so looks like I'm out. Good luck with the sale!!

Something that I learned from having air ride is, it’s probabaly the number one thing that if you tell a non car person about it, they will have the MOST perplexed confusion on “why” . like with plenty of other mods they will not get it or understand fully but if it’s like something to go faster even though they are like “why do you need to go that fast” they get that we do it to go faster. Or same with wheels or cosmetics - they get that we like the look.


But telling and showing them it’s so you can park the car laying on the ground… that’s very confusing hell it’s confusing to me why I love it so much
