VWLupoRallyTypeX Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 back when i wanted to lower mine at JBSautosports they told me i couldnt have air ride, or hydraulic suspension due to the rear end being something like a solid axle? :Sdont know if im right or not guys, but its their if needed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widelupo Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Back in the days when I had a corsa b (2006ish) I got airride supplied and fitted for £795. It was a garage in Paisley dont know the make airride but it handled fine I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Just been reading about this:http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=396048I found when buying air it was a lot cheaper to get it from the States.I used Bagriders.com ended up saving about £600 than buying an equivalent kit from over here. I couldn't recommend them enough The site, being American doesn't have Lupo or Polo listed, but worth dropping an email if serious to see if another kit would fit or whether they know of anyone else.

bobbo Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) With them not having Lupo's in the states i reckon it would be very hard for them to give any advice. Bit of a thread hi-jack but how is air supposed to handle? Cant be anywhere near a good static set up? Edited July 23, 2011 by bobbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) If set up properly with decent parts its supposed to be just as good, if not better than most coilovers.But, as with any suspension set up, go past a certain point in lowering and handeling is always going to be a bit dodgey.

shaunandez Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Mk2 golf fronts struts are used for the Lupo. Nothing off the shelf fits for the rears. You have to use custom size rear bags wich cost a lot. And a decent 4 way air set up is better than coilovers. Same handling characteristics with O.E. Comfort levels. Win-win really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
