Air Lift Performance Golf MK5 /6, Passat CC and TT MK2 2WD Slam Series kit

Imagine a suspension system that allows a super-low stance, track-tuned handling and raised ground clearance–at the push of a button–for everyday driving. It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Welcome to the reality that is Air Lift Performance…

This high-performance, Slam Series kit was specifically designed for the Volkswagen MK5/6 Golf platform, which gives 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 on the front and rear axles. The result is a car that not only looks incredible, but also boasts a significantly improved suspension performance with the ability to maintain total practicality on the street.

Put simply, coilover suspensions cannot compete with the versatility of Air Lift Performance’s setups. This kit will get your vehicle lower than any coil suspension, while still providing crisp handling and a smooth ride. Both the front and rear kits use double-bellow air springs. In order to achieve the lowest drop possible, the Air Lift Performance bags compress to an amazingly slim 2.3 inches, allowing even the biggest wheels to tuck hard (as long as they clear the fenders).

Air Lift Performance torture-tests each component on our hydraulic rig for over one million cycles, simulating around 100,000 real-world miles. Anyone with the skills to wire a stereo and swap suspension components can have their car on the ground in only a matter of hours. Basic hand tools are the only things necessary to complete the job.

The Volkswagen MK5/6 2WD Slam Series kit is available with a range of Air Lift Performance management options, including their innovative 3H™ height + pressure sensing system. Air Lift Performance used a state-of-the-art 32-bit processor, advanced height + pressure algorithms and a full color controller, complete with built in Bluetooth connectivity to make 3H the most advanced air management system on the market.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...
