Just got this in my email queue. Very cool. Still quite pricey, but a damaged front end is costly as well. Having to remove the coilovers and send them out is a bit of a hurdle - though understandable. Anyone have 'em yet? Any affect to the driving experience?

Hi Rich,

The wait is over, RSS is officially launching the Cargraphic Airlift Program for Porsche. We are currently taking orders for the Retrofit Kits as they are in limited supply, and we expect them to move quickly based on customer demand.
Cargraphic Airlift Retrofit Kit is compatible with:
- Bilstein PSS9
- Bilstein PSS10 without PASM
- Bilstein B16 “Damptronic” with PASM
- OEM GT2 and GT3 Suspension
INSTALLATION: All Cargraphic Airlift Retrofit Kits must be installed at RSS to ensure TUV approved installation guidelines are met. RSS is the only authorized Cargraphic Airlift Installation Center in North America. Simply ship us your vehicles existing dampers/coilovers and we will install the kit and ship them back with minimal turnaround time. *New dampers/coilovers will not qualify for Cargraphic Airlift Retrofit Program unless purchased exclusively through RSS.
NOTE: Complete Cargraphic Airlift Kits (Bilstein PSS9, PSS10, B16 “Damptronic” with PASM Dampers with Airlift Kit Installed) will be available shortly.
Please feel free to contact any of our RSS premier dealers or contact RSS directly with inquires or for additional information.

This might really be good for the California hills. It's flat enough where I live to reduce the necessity . If you get it --please post a review . Thanks in advance.

 

Yeah I plan on getting these!

 

We'll be doing a buncha these!

 

Sounds great Alex! Do you already have these in stock?

 

is it $3500 + the blistein kit which is another $2500 or for the whole thing ?

 

Would it work for the R8?

 

The Cargraphic/Bilstein Airlift System is finally arriving in America later this week.

Thanks for everyone's patience on this exciting new product allowing you to raise the front of your car 2.2" at the touch of a button.

DAMAGING YOUR FRONT SPOILER IS A THING OF THE PAST!

Here is a link to some video of it working (click on AIRLIFT tag):

Please contact RSS for additional information.

 

Presuming it's $3500 plus the coilovers, you have to buy a lot of front splitters to offset the cost. OTOH, if you have a CF splitter like in the video, one should be all over this. Considering that I don't have a CF part, and I already have the Bilstein coilovers installed (I believe that you need to get a new set to get the lift kit), I guess I'll just be buying splitter futures.

 

The Cargraphic/Bilstein Airlift Kit can be retrofitted at RSS to your existing Bilstein Coilovers. The downtime is minimal and we can have your coilovers shipped back to you asap. Feel free to call us for further information 714.545.1046
Thanks.

 

After watching the video, I would be concerned at the amount of time it takes to get the nose up to max height as to not scrape. 10 seconds does not sound like a lot of time, but if you come to a driveway and had forgotten to start to lift the car you would be waiting a while before you could enter. I think it would be easier to just approach the driveway at an angle at that point no? (I am just trying to convince myself that I do not need these, although they seem cool and wouldn't mind having a set )

 

I totally hear you ///MJFDDS – this is not for everyone. However, in realtime the Airlift inflates a bit quicker than video and does come in very handy if you just want to be safe from scraping and have the option to lift the front end regardless of the obstacle, driveway, road hazard, speed bump, etc. For example, my driveway entrance is so steep and awkward, it doesn't matter if I come in at an angle or not in my Pcar – so for me and many of us lowered vehicle owners, it's a nice option to have.

Recently, world famous motorsports driver – Walter Röhrl had the opportunity to drive some of the Cargraphic Porsches fitted with the new Airlift System.
The Cargraphic Airlift System does not affect driving performance, handling characteristics or the vehicle's suspension setup.
Here's a few pics and more of the story and video to come...
