Volkswagen Beetle Turbo (MK6)

Imagine a suspension system that allows a super-low stance, track-tuned handling, and—at the push of a button—raised ground-clearance for everyday driving. It sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it’s a reality; welcome to the world of Air Lift Performance.

This high-performance threaded body kit has been specifically designed for the new VW Beetle Turbo model, giving you the ability to adjust the ride height even while on the move. At the touch of a button, you can lower your VW up to 5.8-inches from stock height on the front and rear axle! The result is a car that’s not only super-cool to look at, but also features significantly improved suspension performance while maintaining total practicality on the street.

Air Lift has stepped up the air suspension game with new threaded bag-over, body style air strut. The monotube struts offer 30-level damping adjustment. This allows you to change the damper settings from soft to a stiff performance set-up, only using the convenient damping adjuster to achieve this. Each strut features a threaded body, allowing you to perfectly set up the vehicle by changing the position of the lower mount on the strut. Furthermore, these high-tech struts are topped off with adjustable camber plates carved from T-6061 aircraft aluminum, which means the camber can be adjusted up to three degrees for track use or that perfect wheel fitment.

For the rear, Air Lift Performance has employed the use of double-bellows bags with brackets that simply bolt on to the chassis—no cutting is required. Couple Air Lift’s smooth-riding bag system with the ingenious damping set-up, and the result is nothing short of incredible.

Installation is simple with detailed instruction manuals supplied by Air Lift Performance’s engineering team. If you have the skill to wire a stereo or swap suspension components, then you can have your car on the ground in a matter of hours. Only basic hand tools are necessary to complete installation. Keep this in mind: if you are looking for the ultimate low look, then some frame modifications and fabrication skill will be required.
