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.

Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the last couple of years, you may have noticed Facebook is pretty much taking over the world.  All of us here at Air Lift Performance have embraced this fact and have jumped on-board.  So if you want to stay up to date on new products, cool new images, or you just want to interact with some of the coolest gear heads in the world, just click the “LIKE” button.  You know you want to…..

Looking to slam your 1995-2003 BMW E39?  Look no further than Air Lift Performance!  On March 31 we will launch the first of many new kits for 2012, starting with the E39.  Be sure to check with your Air Lift Performance dealer for pre-order opportunities.  Stay tuned for details!

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!

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.  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!

From the black GM heritage grill to the rear RK Sport spoiler, everything has been treated to the dark hue.  The once polished SS rims have now been powder-coated black chrome. Smoked black lens have been fitted front and rear to match the acres of 20% tint it took to cover all the windows.  As if that wasn’t enough black, Bryan decided to go with a flat black drivers side Grand Sport stripe outlined in red to pay homage to GM’s racing roots.

Of course this black beauty is not just all looks! Performance has been enhanced with a Trinity 1000 programmer, gears are switched via a Hurst short throw shifter, and the only thing louder than the Magnaflow 5″ axle back competition exhaust is the 12″ Kenwood sub powered by a 400 watt Kicker amp blasting away in the trunk.  A supercharger is in the plans, if a sponsorship can be secured.

How does Bryan drive his prized Camaro so low? I thought you would never ask!  The answer lies in the fully adjustable performance inspired Air Lift Camaro kit Air Lift Performance suspension  Bryan decided to toss the GM suspension in a dark corner because of “the phenomenal ride and handling that air suspension provides!” He also wanted the killer stance without dealing with the road rash that lowered vehicles normally have to endure.  Controlling this Camaro’s altitude attitude is Air Lift’s new digital Auto Pilot V2, with the push of a button Bryan can choose from 8 different preset heights.

If you like carving corner’s, want improved ride quality, and full height adjustability for your modern muscle car contact your local Air Lift Performance Dealer today!

So the holidays are finally over and hopefully you are no longer writing 2011 on everything, like I still am!  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.  Stay tuned for updated information and the ever elusive “spy” pics….

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)

A quick look at what the Air Lift mad scientists have cooked up……Don’t worry more info will be coming soon!

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.

Smooth because everything on this car is shaved;  from the marker lights, to the exhaust cutout, and even the drivers side key hole!  Criminal because Rich’s ride steals more looks than Butch Cassidy stole hundred dollar bills.

A close shave is not the only body mods this VW has seen though.  This GTI has pulled front and rear fenders, blue tinted side view mirrors, Jetta fog light grilles with a 3K HID kit up front and smoked Euro taillights out back. Rich also decided to toss the badge’s and the rear wiper in the trash to help continue the smooth attitude.

On the inside Rich has treated his ride to a complete Katzkin’s Leather interior along with a custom glove box.  The diamond in this automotive heist is the custom Air Lift Auto Pilot digital controller mount.  Boys and girls this is one of the nicest installs I have seen, c’mon this thing looks factory!!

Don’t think Rich forgot about the tunes, a single 12″ sub is powered by a Pioneer X920BT head unit to keep the party rockin’!   Take all this and add in the custom mounted, hard lined air management system and this ride is for sure to steal looks on the local New York VW scene.

This silver bullet rides on one off 18×8.5 front and 18×9.5 rear Carline CM6 rims with the air valves moved into the inside of the rims to stay with the smooth look.  Helping this GTI tuck these unique rims, Rich is using the Air Lift Slam kit for the MKV http://www.airliftperformance.com/applications/european/vw-mkv-slam/.  Rich could not be happier with the ride quality and show stopping looks the air suspension provides.

In case Rich ever needs to make a speedy getaway, performance has been upgraded with Revo software and a BSH True Seal Intake to make this GTI fly.  A custom painted and shaved (of course) BSH engine cover, battery cover, fuse box cover and JCaps black anodized caps add the same amount of detail under-hood as the rest of the car.

One of the coolest things about this silver GTI is the fact that is daily driven year round, even in the harshest winter storms New York can throw at it.  If you are at a show with Rich’s tricked out VW don’t be surprised if this car doesn’t only steal looks but trophies as well….
