#LIFEONAIR: Todd Nakanishi's VW Golf Sportwagen

Dumped wagons rock.

There’s something undeniably cool about seeing a big ol’ people-mover slammed to the ground on air suspension. Maybe it’s because it is such an unusual base to work with, or could it be because hatchbacks are more common place? Either way, we’re MASSIVE fans here at Air Lift Performance, and Todd Nakanishi’s VW Golf is one of our favorites to date.

The build started its life as a 2015 TDI SE Sportwagen, and from that Todd has created the ultimate mile-munching daily driver, with just a few key modifications in the process, including Air Lift Performance’s’s Mk7 platform suspension kit. This kit uses double-bellows air springs placed over a threaded-body monotube strut, complete with 30 levels of damping adjustment – that’s more than enough to go from race car stiff to a smooth and comfortable ride, all with just the twist of a knob.
