    AirLift

    Ok,

    So i WAS going to go for airlift suspension... after getting a 10k price, and then finding out i need to notch and remove front roll bars, that wont be happening!

    So much sad

    Anywho, now looking at coilovers... again... Best australian supplier for KW DDC?

    Should be able to get a decent setup with air lifts under half that cost

    For what car?

    Lol price up a kit on Bagriders or Open Road tuning and the top of the range stuff wont even put you over 4k.
    I remember paying something like 2.5k for my Airlift Slams and autopilot V1.

    What car is it anyway?

    all depends on the model of car. mk4s require a load of work like that (sways, notch, subframe notch or control arm replacement).
    I did sway bar and control arms (but the sway bar was even a problem on 40mm drop on coils)

    not sure about the rocco, where did you find that info?

    sciroccocentral.co.uk - few pics on their forum that show guys notching frames to lay it out - im not so much worried about that it was the epic price! lol

    if i could get away with a reasonable price I would think about it - wonder how low i can go without removing the swaybar...

    Ohh bagged Scirocco would be cool as.
    My eos has no notch and a sway bar. Yeh it could go a bit lower in the front with a notch but its fine for now.

    Just keep doing research I guess.

    I wonder why they said i need to remove the sway bar then :S

    Hmm - how low do you get without the notch and with the sway bar on i wonder

    Yeah, they do - as well as exhaust is the same apparently. There are plenty of places that do kits for them - so i have been finding out today.

    If it doesnt need notching and i can keep the sway bar i might be pretty interested still!!
