Where to start!

The stats

- Airlift performance from bags
- Airlift Double below slam rears
- Airlift rear shocks
- Airlift 4gallon skinny tank - painted gloss black
- Dual Viair 444c Compressors
- V2 management
- Hardlines
- Everything trimmed in alcantara

Finally got my car back from the lads at Studio in car, and boy have they done a mint job!

I purchased my air ride from car audio security in their end of year sale, and i got a great deal but it wasn't quite what i wanted as i was after performance bags. Luckily Shakey at studio managed to get my slams i'd bought from car audio switched for performance bags, and only had to pay the difference!  :happy2:

I was after something a little special and was trying to keep things in keeping with the black and gold theme i have going on with my LM's. So after chatting things out we decided to get the 4 Gallon air lift tank sprayed in a gloss black, with the dual 444's being shown off in a clean window. As i was going this far i thought screw it lets get hard lines in there too to really set it off! I'd also had the rear shocks changed to air lift shocks to allow me to get that bit lower as im only sporting 17"s. All the rear is trimmed in alcantara and i hope you all agree it looks very tidy and im so happy with the end result!

The v2 controller is fabricated in to the ash tray, forgot to get a picture of this i'll supply one soon!

I'll let the pictures do some talking from here. It was late when i picked the car up so i've only got shots from inside the garage. Hopefully if the weathers alright i'll spruce her up and get some more shots tomorrow and put them on here or my instagram: _ali_ward

Enjoy!



Fitment?













Sorry about the quality on these 2






Let me know what you think

hopefully some more pic updates tomorrow!

Does performance mean you can boost it about, take corners quick instead of the bags breaking in two?

Performance give better handling than coils and also allows you to keep the anti roll bar and have top camber mounts

To be honest, I went coils over bags as I simply don't trust air to break when I'm boosting and doing stupid things in corners. I would take air over coils anyday and would get it done tomorrow, but I simply don't trust it. I'm trying to to organise an outing in a charged Rs4 with "performance" are, by someone who doesn't do slow, so we'll see.

Thanks for the comments and kind words guys!

The performance bags felt better than my previous. Haven't had a chance to put them through their paces cos the roads are so damn wet   :sick:
