Volkswagen Passat | Air Lift Performance

Description
Air Lift Performance kits are bolt-on air suspension systems that allow you to control the height and ride quality of your Passat.
Most kits come in ‘Slam’, which drops your Passat lower and uses reversible sleeve bags, or ‘Performance’, which uses slightly bigger double-convoluted air bags.
Air Lift kits are perfect for dropping your Passat right to the ground, but they also provide you with the right amount of lift to ensure your car remains practical and undamaged – it’s the ideal way to make your car both stylish and effective.
This means your Passat’s handling and ride quality will be maintained while you are also able to adjust the ride height at will and while driving, meaning you can avoid any obstacles on the road as they come. Most systems will offer a ride range of around five inches but this will vary depending on what Passat you have.
The kits are also incredibly simple to fit, so any local garage should be able to install the system for you, or you may even be able to fit it yourself! It is 100% bolt-on, so no fabrication is needed to attach it to your Passat.
You can also choose to include an air management system of your choosing. This allows you to get the very best from your air and adjust your ride height while on the move. See the Options tab for more info.
Last but not least, each Air Lift Performance kit from AirRide, with air management, also includes a VIAIR 444C compressor or equivalent. The compressor is integral to the smooth running of your air suspension and the 444C allows you to run your system as much as you want at high pressures. It is compact too, so is easily stored on any Passat.
Here’s exactly what you get in your kit:
- Two front VW Passat performance air struts
- VW Passat rear bags, brackets and shock absorbers (‘Performance’ kits only)
- Necessary bolts and fittings to install the system
You can also add an air management system if you wish. To get the most from an Air Lift Performance kit a control system is recommended. With a management system you also get:
- An air tank, if needed
- Viair 444C compressor or equivalent
About Air Lift Performance
Air Lift was founded in Michigan, USA, in 1949, and ever since then has been at the cutting edge of air suspension design.
Throughout 70 years of designing and manufacturing air bags they have routinely given car owners fresh reasons to get air ride – from Air Lift-fitted stock racing cars in the ‘50s and ‘60s, to the ‘90s when Air Lift Performance was founded to slam custom cars, to now, when Performance air suspension offers a smooth, street-skimming ride for anyone looking to add more style to their pride and joy.
