That is always something ive wondered when it comes to the VAG sCeNe.

Everytime i see or hear of a car with air,it always seems to be parked on a patch of grass and not actually driven at the lowest setting.I think its for attention.

I drive and enjoy it.

I like the look of it low. But not the inconvenience (sp) so that's where the air comes in.

I'll have th rear sitting slightly higher and the front lower on bags.

Bags are all round. FRSS setup.

Will bang a thread up on e38 etc when it's finished. Just waitng for the yanks to send the bags over now. Everything else is in.

will that give it the correct rake to add to the stance and will you have to add camber to the rake to give it stance?

i was joking when i said that btw, most people on here think cars lowered more then 60mm are undriveable and pointless..

which obviously counted my mk1 golf as the wishbones and gearbox mount was less then an inch off the ground..

looking forward to the thread on edition
