To achieve this much drop in elevation, the engineers at Air Lift  Performance chose a progressive-rate, sleeve-style air spring mounted  atop a black, powder-coated threaded body strut that replaces the OEM  setup. This combination not only allows you to adjust the height with  the air spring, but also allows you to change the length of the strut by  adjusting the lower mount position, so you can really fine-tune the  ride height you desire.  Featuring adjustable camber plates carved out  of T6061 red anodized aluminum, and 30 different levels of damping, this  suspension will give you enough adjustments to turn your MK1 into a  corner carver—not just a hard parker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe used the same style of progressive-rate springs in the rear kit,  giving you that smooth ride for daily use, and 30 levels of damping  adjustment when it’s time to hit the track.  The sexy, black chromed  steel shock bodies—coupled with the bright red anodized end caps and  lock rings—add some nice flair to the undercarriage of your MK1.  All of  this adds up to 4.9 inchesof drop from stock height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetailed instructions will help you to have your VW slammed within a  few short hours.  If you have the ability to wire a stereo or swap out  suspension parts, then you should have no problem installing this air  suspension.  If you do happen to run into a snag, the Air Lift  Performance tech support team is top-notch, and can walk you through any  questions you may have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to bring the most durable air suspension possible to the  market, Air Lift Performance tortured the components of this kit to one  million cycles (equal to approximately 100,000 miles) on their hydraulic  test rig at temperatures from -30 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Couple  this test lab work with thousands of miles of on-road testing—not to  mention the one-year manufacturer’s warranty—and this is a kit you can  count on to handle whatever the road throws down!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsn’t it time you had the option of getting a killer lowered look  without giving up ride quality or having to worry about scraping your  ride?  Ditch the springs and get to an entire new level of low.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Air Lift","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52323740647762,"sku":"AIRLIFT-78603","price":1229.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/4364\/1426\/files\/35590.jpg?v=1766301100","url":"https:\/\/www.caraudiosecurity.com\/products\/98603-vw-golf-mk1-1974-1984-airlift-performance-rear-struts","provider":"Car Audio Security","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
