Air Ride Coupe - airborne ranger - 27-02-2015 10:30pm

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Love it! Its as low as your other baby! Great project, turned very nicely!

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.
