We have stepped up the air suspension game with our new air strut with threaded body and bag-over-style. Our monotube struts are 30-way damping adjustable, and allow you to change the ride quality from a plush, smooth ride to a stiff performance feel with the twist of the damping knob.

Air Lift Performance 3H combines pressure-based control with ride-height sensing technology. While both types of air management have been utilized before, this is the first product to harness the benefits of both sytems – instantly improving suspension control, performance, and vehicle ride flexibility.

Description

The Audi R8 is a masterpiece, a true daily-driving supercar. The whole vehicle screams “performance,” from the polished, sleek exterior with arched body lines, to the powerful mid-engine, all the way to the highly-superior all-wheel drive. The only thing keeping this car from being absolutely perfect is its ride height. So, Air Lift Performance stepped up their game and gave the R8 the slammed look this performance monster deserves.

The R8 comes stock with a world class suspension system, so it was up to Air Lift Performance to create an air suspension system that’ll get you low while also rivaling the Audi’s existing “Sport Mode” and “Comfort Mode.”

Thankfully, at Air Lift Performance, providing adjustability and customization is our specialty – that means not only getting your R8 on the ground, but also over the bumps, while maintaining ride comfort and performance.

Our engineers made sure that your Audi will perform at it’s absolute best, no matter what. You know that you can trust Air Lift Performance because we’ve got a legacy of performance excellence – from bringing home a win in the first Daytona 500 to victories in today’s Redline and Global Time Attack events.

In order to drop it down 3.1” from stock in the front, we paired our double-bellow air springs with threaded-body, double-adjustable, monotube dampers. These specialized dampers allow for 30 levels of both rebound and compression adjustability, allowing for a huge range of adjustability, all the way from a super soft “comfort mode” ride to a stiff “sport mode” setup. With the added feature of remote damping control, you know that your R8 will be ready for whatever the road may bring.

In the rear, it’s a similar system – double-bellow air springs over threaded-body dampers, again featuring both 30 levels of rebound and compression, preserving the ride quality and performance prowess through complete adjustability. Together, these elements combine to drop you down 2.8” from stock ride height.

Each Air Lift Performance kit comes with a detailed and fully illustrated instruction manual, helping you to get your car slammed in only a matter of hours. If you can install a stereo, swap out suspension parts, and own basic hand tools, you’ll have no problem getting your air suspension installed.

To ensure the longevity of the kit, all key suspension components have been tested on our hydraulic test rig for more than one million cycles, simulating around 100,000 miles, then tortured at extreme temperatures from -30º F to 150º F. Add that to our standard one-year, unlimited-mileage warranty – not to mention the Air Lift Performance reputation for exceptional customer service and technical support – and you can purchase this kit with peace of mind.

It’s time to take your Audi R8 to a whole new level of low and begin your #lifeonair.
