    MKV airlift slam series rear bags?

    05-02-2012 11:42 AM #1
    Ive heard alot about airlift rear bags rubbing on the mkv. I was wondering if this is true, or if it is only due to improper installation? i have a mkv jetta if it matters. If they do rub is there anything i can do during install to prevent the rubbing?

    If installed correctly they shouldn't rub, however there are easier setups, that will be less of a headache.

    If you stick to the performance brackets (as opposed to the slam brackets) for the rears, you shouldn't wis up with any issues as long as you install them correctly.

But blessed is he who in the name of disparity overwhelmeth the exotic in the valley of the s-bends.
