Help: Air Lift Xl's Slam Series

[CaliSteezR32]

Installed my airlift rears perfectly, and even compared to my Mk4 R32, the Mk5/6 airlift rears were a pain in the ass to get right, and I'm still having rubbing issues with the rear control arm. I put some household oil on the control arm to see where the bag was rubbing (and to reduce the friction and rubbing noise), you can see it in the picture below, and this is on both of the rear bags. Whoever said **** the airlift rears were totally right, most likely gonna be swapping mine out soon.

Took my car back to TST today and had my rear control arms modified, all good for now, but will for sure be looking to change it up soon.

Same here. TST modified my LCA's over a year ago and no problem ever since.

If you haven't, pick up a copy of AirLift Service Bulletin #240. It gives you a number of things to check when installing their rear bags to ensure they don't rub.

seppdelaney said it perfect. The only modification you will need to do to the rear is to use a 1/2" Drill bit to widen the existing hole on the upper nipple for the nusert. Any also on the LCA, there is also a identical "nipple" which holds the OEM Spring pad, that will be needed to be grinded down to about 1/4" so that the bottom of the airbag cup can fit flush on the LCA.

So, this is this "rear bracket trimming" that everyone is always talking about when trying to get as low as possible? If it is, you simplified it really well.
