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

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

bliss at 9k is infamous around these parts
Does this effect the handling or suspension geometry in any way?

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

Edit here's the link:

With the lift kit you sell, do you include the instruction in how to install the electrical and pneumatic systems? Is the system documented in such a way that it can be installed in one's own garage?

We do include full instructions correct. It's not super-easy but if you follow them you'll be ok You need to remove your front coil overs as well.

How thick is the kit when installed? Can I still go very low with my Damptronics with this kit or does it take up a significant amount of room?

Hey Jason, only done it on the TT cars thus far but both were able to be set low. I'll ask James tomorrow when I get in but since you're in SoCal just stop by the RSS guys and ask Geoff, Mike/Brian etc... as they'll likely be able to measure right there since they likely have a few there
