I'd rather a camber plate retrofit for my XL's but still sub'd for this.

Isn't the top plate on XL's just a flat steel plate with a hole in the center?

It would be easy enough to have a waterjetting or CNC plasma cutting place draw up a set with static camber or slotted like GC camber plates.

Could prob make a good couple bucks selling them to current xl owners.

I might just do that when I am home for a little side buisness..

bump for interest.

I already have drawings for this, but have abandoned them since the top plate is so close to the bag. Under any real camber, I am afraid the plate is going to hit the top of the bag. Unless we could figure out spacers or something, but then the main shaft might be too short.

I wish there was some way to get it done.

Any updates?

[Andrew@ORT]

Not just yet, sir.

We are hoping to have some 'solid' updates in the near future!

Thanks,
Andrew

just saw this thread and made my day.
i currently run BOC with the same type of adjustable options, but i need moar lift.
i will be interested in getting these when they come out

[najob08]

I'd buy MK4 versions in a heart beat.

You have my full support!

Planning on ditching my coilovers for air in the not TOO distant future. Looks like this would be my setup of choice.

[Andrew@ORT]

Updates?

We've passed along our info/data to AirLift and hope to hear back from them soon!

You have my full support!

Thanks Bernie, shot you a pm

Are the bags actually adjustable on the body??? I don't think they really are. I installed an Air Lift kit on an Audi a few weeks ago for a friend and I don't remember being able to thread the bag on the body itself, just the bodies. Other than taking the bag off of the strut. The bags aren't built like Universal Air's bags as far as I know so threading the bag up and down doesn't seem possible at all. I could be wrong on this.... maybe

So the threaded body is the only adjustment your going to get. My guess is most guys will thread the mount down all the way. My belief is it will not go any lower than the original kits air lift was selling a couple of years ago that Jesse sold me. The car sat about an inch, inch and an eighth higher than the xl's. That would be at the lowest point. Which means your ride height would actually be a little higher to be at a prime pressure for real driving.

The reason you can't add adjustable camber plates to the XL's is the upper mount design. It is poor quality using plastic washers with a shoulder and calling it a bearing. I think any hard angle would probably crack the bearing and get the sweet clunking sound that people have been posting vids of here and there. The upper mount also houses a rubber bushing that acts like the factory upper strut mount. This is to keep noise levels down from their strut cycling from bumps in the road. I am also guessing to help combat deflection from general movement from bumps while turning. My guess is another way to help the plastic bearings live a little longer.

I think even if you are cutting plates or slotting holes in the upper mounts you going to snap bearings. To much uneven load for there design.

I am interested though. Any price on these Andrew?

[PatientlyWaiting]

I demand updates.

[Andrew@ORT]

Working on it for you sir.

[PatientlyWaiting]

I send my thanks.

[tomshouse516]

I have air and camber.

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

Updates?

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

Also think outside the box a little. Your all talking about how camber plates that adjust from the bottom plate won't work.. How about adjustment at the top plate. Ya it will add height but your subframe is on the ground before the bag is at 0 psi anyhow so you'll still lay frame.

[nickbeezy]

any updates on this?

[Andrew@ORT]

AirLift is well aware of the demand and has seen this thread multiple times.

Guess we'll just have to be patient and wait...

Wait patiently? Contrary to popular belief, I am unfamiliar with that concept.

Is this on a back burner or just not happening at all? I am looking to pick up new front struts and I would love to have these as opposed to regular XLs

[crispy21]

Go with regular xls these seem like they wont be done for awhile

We're not really able to speak publicly on the matter...

[dsm1983]

Just moved from San Diego to Birmingham, Alabama.
Out there, coils at the lowest possible setting worked without issue day in & day out. But here... it's a different story all together. Just driving around the past couple days in someone else's car, I truly don't think my car would make it a week at it's current stance.
So suffice it to say, I'm still in the market for air suspension, and even more so than before.

I'll take it from the emoticon that is a good thing but, don't they have vendor accounts on this forum? I'm not sure why you need to serve as the intermediary, when they can just post their own info.

[Andrew@ORT]

It's a very good thing.

AirLift doesn't post on here much even though they do sponsor the forum. They are also a company that doesn't sell to the public, they just sell through their dealer network. Hence why we do so much promoting!

I will do my best to keep this thread up to date with information on these struts. Sometimes we have to do a bit of prying to get info from the enginerds at AirLift

[JAK-RBT]

100% in for these when they come out

Well, as the "enginerd in chief", I WILL say we re working on it right now along with some other stuff that you guys will enjoy.

Nerd out.
