Video Cargraphic AirLift Kit Installed @ SharkWerks: Demo video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbtTDTmZryI

Hey fellas as promised here's a demo video showing the Cargraphic Air-lift kit that we installed on a 2009 997TT (works on all 997 & 996 based cars with Bilstein coilovers or GT cars with factory coil overs) with a Bilstein PASM coil over kit. It was set pretty low and previously made for a rather difficult approach angle when dealing with driveways. As you can see it's a nice aid for those of you with lowered cars that keep scraping/trashing your front lips Walter Röhrl makes an appearance.

For those of you interested contact either Dan/myself or our friends at RoadSportSupply for pricing and options.

Thumbs up

This is great stuff.
Questions:

1- How does this affect the handling since we added a cushion over the springs
2- How will it affect corner balancing?
3- after installing, i am sure you need to re-aling, readjust height and such?

Great work

Wow! That is one amazing looking 997TT. And with video production like that, I see SharkWerks the Movie in your future.

Thanks for another quality project. Review to follow soon...

Hi KA 997TT,
1) No, the handling is unaffected when the kit is not in use. The airbags deflated, and act as a solid aluminum spacer when the kit is disabled. I believe RSS/Cargraphic posted another video, showing Walter Röhrl driving a 997TT around a track with this kit, and it's still very fast.

2) No, it will not effect corner balancing as long as the heights are adjusted correctly when installing.

3) As long as your installer sets the height and camber the same as it was, there is no need for re-alignment etc. The height can be adjusted while the kit's being installed. Bilstein or TechArt coilovers (or factory coilovers on GT2, GT3 cars) are required for the installation.

Hey sparkhill, that _is_ the classic white modded TT isn't it I think we had a few too many raspberry ice teas that day and it effected our video skills....

Enjoy and hopefully your next lip will be safe:P
