We are proud to offer the new "Airlift Suspension System" from Cargraphic, one of Europe's leading tuners.
This Cargraphic patented automatic level control system elevates many of the day to day problems that can be encountered in driving a high performance lowered sports car such as the Audi R8 around our busy city streets. The front suspension is operated by a wireless remote control unit (supplied) by the driver. It enables the car's front suspension to rise by 55mm enabling it to negotiate obstacles such as car park ramps, speed humps, high kerbs etc, without expensive damage to the front spoiler or underside of the car or indeed the wheels. If the driver forgets to cancel the system and lower the suspension after he has negotiated the offending obstacle, the "Airlift Suspension" will automatically lower the car back down to normal ride height once it has reached a speed of 50 km/h.
The "Airlift Suspension" can be used on road, track and race cars and will not have any adverse effect on the handling or performance of the car or the choice of wheel/tyre combination. The system has already been extensively tested and there are many reviews available online.
The surprisingly fast to mount Cargraphic Airlift is not an air suspension system, but merely consists of air bellows and a separate compressor. The former sit on the upper spring cup of an ideally tested BILSTEIN B16 CSC coil over suspension system and are only used to compensate the height. In inactive condition the bellows form a rigid frictional connection, so that the coil over suspension system alone is used – above 50 km/h the system lowers automatically. The small boot remains untouched by the conversion and the vehicle weight is increased by a mere 3 kilos including the compressor. Effective and efficient, just the way customers of Cargraphic like it. Unlike similar hydraulics solutions, there is also no danger of the insides of the car being ruined by an oil leak. After all, the reputation of the Audi R8 can't receive a black mark on its white vest. Another considerable advantage is: the
Airlift is delivered complete with a TÜV/technical component report and does not limit the choice of wheel/tyre combination.
