So you may think everyone here at Air Lift Performance just sits in a comfy office chair designing some of the most advanced air suspension systems in the world day in and day out.  While for the most part this is true, we do like to get out of the office and hit the track!  So we loaded up our BMW E39, Subaru STi and our Mustang GT and headed for Gingerman raceway in southern Michigan.  Not only was it nice to get out and get some fresh air, we were able to collect a lot of data to help us provide our customers with suspensions that perform on and off the track.

AutoPilot v2
Air Lift is proud to introduce the most advanced pressure based air suspension control on the planet!
The sleek V2 controller is protected in a rugged, rubberized coating to help protect against the occasional drops and scratches. Display readout shows, individual corner air pressure and tank pressure. You can select your pressures to be displayed in PSI, or for our friends across the pond, we now have an option for BAR!! To give you the ultimate in personalization of your system we have loaded the multi-color display with 512 color combinations! Believe it or not all of this technology fits in the palm of your hand and only takes one wire to connect to your wire harness.
Not only does the V2 give you 8 different presets to tailor to your ride heights needs, but it also “learns” your vehicle to provide incredible accuracy with every push of the button. As you roll low, the V2 will constantly monitor your pressures and adjust accordingly to your presets.  V2 also allows you to control your system manually, for the ultimate in independent 4 corner adjustment.    With the raise on start feature, you won’t even have to touch the controller! Fully laid out? Raise to your ride height as soon as you turn on your ride and you’re ready to go.
You want diagnostics? Well V2 has diagnostics! With a touch of a button you can check compressor performance and compressor run times. The system will also alert you to a leak, a low pressure situation, communication failure or if there is something wrong with your valve.
Installation could not be easier! Mount your components, hook up 3 wires, plug in the OEM quality harness and you are ready to go. The detailed instruction manual will take you through the calibration and ride height preset process. Each V2 is 100% function and leak tested at the factory after assembly, so you can cruise the streets in confidence!
One of the best features of the Air Lift Performance Auto Pilot V2 is that it is proudly made in the United States of America!

Pitch Black
We have all been outside on a night with no moon, no stars, or lights for miles and miles…. You know the kind of night, it is so black outside you cannot see your hand in front of your face. Well I have stumbled on a ride that makes that kind of black look just plain silly. Â I came across Bryan’s 2011 SS/RS on Camaro5 forum and was immediately stopped in my tracks, between the ground crushing stance and the overall attitude of the car, I had to find out more!
2012 Let’s hope the Mayans are wrong!
So the holidays are finally over and hopefully you are no longer writing 2011 on everything, like I still am! Â Everyone here at Air Lift Performance is extremely excited about 2012, not only is the Auto Pilot V2 getting ready to kick off but with a new year comes other cool new products.
As a way of saying thanks for an awesome 2011, we want to give you a glimpse of some of the projects we will be launching throughout the year. Â Stay tuned for updated information and the ever elusive “spy” pics….
Can you say BMW E39?
Zoom Zoom  Mazda 3 (going even lower!)
Give you a hint……It rhymes with Subaru….
There you have it, a few shots of the things to come here at Air Lift Performance for 2012. Â Not to worry we have other applications in the works, but I have already said too much!!!

New Rear Air Suspension Kit for AWD VW MKIV/Audi TT MKI – Press Release
Contact: Corey Rosser, (800) 248-0892, ext. 227, coreyrosser@airliftcompany.com
LANSING, MI • December 5, 2011 — VW addicts can now get their fix from Air Lift Performance with the latest offering: a rear bag kit for the All-Wheel Drive VW MKIV (2002-2004) and Audi TT MKI (2000-2006).
Now the AWD guys can enjoy the incredible drop and smooth ride of an Air Lift Performance kit just like the FWD crowd. This new kit uses an innovative design on the upper endcap that only requires a slight trimming of the original coil spring locating bump on the chassis so that going back to coils is not an issue. Another unique feature not found on other brands is the use of a double bellows air spring with a roll plate. This style of spring provides a better ride than a single bellows, as well as considerably more lift.
In order to achieve the lowest drop, these springs compress to an amazingly short 2.3″ height, which is more than enough to tuck wheels hard if they clear the fenders! And as always, Air Lift includes a comprehensive instruction manual to make the install as easy as possible. For those who just have to have one, an Air Lift dealer can assist in the acquisition of a combo kit for the ultimate in a low VW!
• Rear kit part number: 75619
• MKIV SLAM Digital Combo Kit: 95719 (includes front MKIV SLAM 75518, Rear R32 75619 & Autopilot 27667)
• MKIV SLAM Manual Combo Kit: 77719 (includes front MKIV SLAM 75518, Rear R32 75619 & manual Control 27666)
Air Lift Performance is a division of Air Lift Company featuring air suspension kits and parts for a variety of Euro, domestic and Japanese vehicles. Air Lift Company is the premier global supplier and manufacturer of aftermarket air suspension products.

No kids, I am not talking about the Alien Ant Farm song or the original MJ version, I am talking about Rich Fogarty’s 2007 VW GTI.
