Air Ride Coupe

I understand this may not appeal to a lot of people, but please try to keep the vibe positive. I love my Evoque and how it turned out which is why I opt to share mine with the world. It is not my only vehicle so practicality was not a priority. You dont see lowered Evoques too often around here. I originally looked at static lowering and going with KW Variant III but the delay in manufacturing got me looking elsewhere. I settled on the AIRREX air ride system. There was only the one prototype set and I had to wait 10 weeks to receive mine. The result is seen below. Other modifications are as follows: Black and Silver Rover badges, Mud flaps, side tubes, rain gaurds, roof rails and crossbars, cross-drilled/slotted rotors, red calipers Niche 20" wheels, Thule Sonic Alpine box.

Air Ride Coupe

I considered something like this enough to email around some air suspensions manufacturers but none had anything available.

Then I started thinking about magneride etc and decided to stop pursuing it. If I had a pure though... Smile

RE: Air Ride Coupe

Thanks Doody. Actually Mark it's a Dynamic without magnaride. She drives like a dream... one would think it would be bouncy but that is not the case. AIR REX really makes a great kit. I have the tank and compressor nice and tidy in my spare tire compartment. I plan to add a quick release air hose connector to the tank and carry hose should I need to add air to my tires. I've had and currently have vehicles that do not come from factory with a spare tire so driving without one does not concern me.

RE: Air Ride Coupe

It looks really bad ass, I assume that the lowest it goes, but how high can the ride go. I looked at the AIRREX air ride system here in Australia and they have one listed for the Evoque and its in the rage of $5,600 plus installation. My interest is to increase the height for off road driving, the reason for my question.

RE: Air Ride Coupe

Thanks Mark. Correct. That pic is of it sitting in the lowest position. The adjustable collars and triple bellow bag system has over 6" of travel. I am sure you can make it a lift kit if you should so desire.

RE: Air Ride Coupe

Thank you AAA, one last thing I'm looking at doing is adding an exhaust. Leaning towards Milltek. I'll update the thread with the progress.
